The Charterless Midwest
December 18, 2008 – 9:01 amAwhile back when Midwest Airlines announced they were cutting nearly 50% of their routes and dumping the MD-80, I always assumed they would be keeping their charter MD-80s. I assumed this because chartering can be quite profitable as you have more leeway to control you revenue stream. My assumption was wrong though as local news laments the end of service to to the Bucs and Brewers. Air Canada is picking up the slack right now for the Bucs, but no word yet on a permanent replacement.
