A sad day indeed. I think the best thing that can happen now is for Southwest to come in & help put Midwest out of their misery. BB takes another step towards destroying the industry.

Republic Airlines to Operate Embraer 190AR Jets for Midwest Airlines
New Aircraft Will Allow Midwest to Expand Route Network and Offer Longer-Range Nonstop Service
MILWAUKEE & INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 21, 2009-- Midwest Airlines and Republic Airways Holdings (NASDAQ: RJET) today announced an expansion of the air services agreement (ASA) between Midwest Airlines and Republic Airlines to include the addition of new Embraer 190AR jets. The E190s will be configured to seat 100 passengers in a single cabin with seating choice that includes 20 Signature seats. The initial order includes two of the E190AR aircraft.
Midwest will introduce the new service in August and September, and will announce new routes and schedules in the near future.
“The addition of the E190s will provide us new flexibility in terms of our route network and range, with the potential to once again fly nonstop to the West Coast from our Milwaukee hub,” said Timothy E. Hoeksema, Midwest Airlines chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Our expanded agreement with Republic allows us to leverage the cost efficiencies of a large regional airline, while providing our customers with service to more destinations.” Hoeksema said the Embraer aircraft are part of a comprehensive fleet plan currently being finalized by Midwest.
“We are pleased to build on our successful relationship with Midwest Airlines by initiating E190 jet service at Republic,” said Bryan Bedford, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Republic Airways. “These aircraft are as impressive in their performance capabilities as they are in their on-board comfort, and will be a valuable asset in supporting the expansion of the Midwest brand to new routes.” Republic began flying for Midwest under the Midwest Connect brand in October 2008 and currently operates twelve 76-seat Embraer 170 jets. Republic operates a total of 130 E-Jets on behalf of Midwest and its other partners, including Delta, United and US Airways.
With the start of service, Republic Airways will become the first regional airline operator to fly the industry-leading aircraft, which combine a “big jet” feel and impressive mission performance with economically and environmentally friendly operating efficiencies.
The E190 aircraft will be sourced through a 60-month Aircraft Lease Agreement between Republic and GE Commercial Aviation Services LLC (GECAS).

Scumbags... That is as scabby as it gets. This makes Go jets look like angels. Flying mainline routes in mainline size planes for less then subpar regional pay. Unbelievable. So it begins... Anybody who accepts this flying is a SCAB.
Here is the end of our careers, our dreams of ever making it to a major, and making a decent living. Cheers!

Now that the 100 seater is at the regional level expect further stagnation on seniority lists throughout the industry. Here's to a career at the regional airlines!
