I don't think you have to hope much, just read the news. Airtran just opened a MKE domicile to go along with their expansion, and SWA has gradually been increasing their presence in both markets. It's unfortunate, because if RAH "branded" is eliminated, many good folks that don't want anything to do with the reverend's way of doing business will lose their jobs.

I rather hope that the RAH pilots (all of them Frontier, Midwest, and regional) get a really good contract, and fair integration of the seniority lists.
