What are the specific benefits for Midwest?
Midwest would benefit from being a part of a large, national carrier with a modernized fleet with enhanced prospects for profitability and growth and available aircraft for expansion. As part of a combined carrier with greater scale, Midwest will be better prepared to compete in an increasingly difficult industry environment. The creation of a stronger carrier will provide the company’s employees with a more secure future and more opportunities for advancement. We expect continued employment for all emplyees, in fact we expect total employment to grow. It will also materially improve the scope and frequency of air service in Milwaukee and Kansas City to the benefit of those communities far beyond anything Midwest can reasonably expect to be able to offer as an independent company.
