This is the tail for the new paint scheme for the Airtran and SKYW spares.

SKYW will continue to close the MKE base and these flights will be flown by ORD based crews....don't know how that's going to work but there will be no MKE base.

Neat scheme...maybe. Let's see the whole Aircraft haha.

It's too bad about the loss of MKE, what a great time it was there!!

So how does this affect OO staffing? Still fat?

Good luck at this. I fly with a bunch of Air Willy pilots that really enjoyed flying for AirTran down in ATL. Together you and AirTran can take down RP in MKE. That would be saweeeet!

If not AirTran hopefully Southwest!

Well these are planes that are already in our fleet so my guess is we are still fat on pilots. A lot less fat than we would have been without it though.

For the record you guys at SKW do an excellent job with your Midwest code share. I ride often between DSM and MKE. I'm jealous that you have a MKE base, but glad SKW does the DSM route and not RP on the EMB's, though that is changing.
