And all the Midwest station employees...well they dont count either I spose...Not sure exactly how the product changes if it doesnt exist. You know like the "product" that was the thriving MKE route structure prior to RAH's takeover. OH WAIT a second, it wasnt much of a product after all. Thats not the point. The point is RAH came to MKE and dismantled a once great airline. They single handidly tore apart Midwest and left the carcass to rot in the heat. And how did they do that? Well when Republic had the chance to sell Midwest to Airtran they fought the hostile takeover. And then Republic sold Midwest to Northwest and TPG in hopes of straightening out the finances. And then Republic went ahead shut down Skyway as an air carrier and hired skywest on. And then Republic outsourced most of the outstations to American Eagle. And then Republic sold all of the MD 80s. And then Republic went and sold the 717s. If I missed anything else Republic did, please feel free to add.
