They took over some Bangor flying and Fredericton. They also went to Albany, NY, Quebec City and to Islip. Would love to have Comair pick that up (ISP), but it's too short to make any real money with a 50 seat RJ.

True, but I think ISP and MKE are a little different.
Long Island residents can easily drive to LGA/JFK/EWR. With Southwest being in bed with the Islip government and having the airport by its cajones, Delta couldn't truly compete in terms of ticket prices. Plus, Delta's lack of advertising (in all markets) doesn't help. Most people didn't even know they could fly to Boston on Big Sky.
MKE area residents don't have much to choose from.

I have also lived in both MKE and ORD...the drive is not bad (easier than Eastern LI into NYC), but nothing beats driving to a Podunk airport w/cheap parking. That's why MKE works as well as it does (plus the direct flights to some great places on Midwest)...DAL would do great out of ISP, just as SWA does, if they would just commit to it.
