Uhmmm, no, the passengers will not continue flying on "mainline household names". They will be flying on a far inferior product serviced by individuals making far inferior wages in an airplane that simply has the painted name of a once great airline sprawled along its fuselage. That creates a huge difference in the product. In my eyes, Midwest is dead, because those that made it such a great airline are no longer working there......
But hey, good luck with your dream. Just remember, the harder they come, the harder they fall.
