I wonder who will win this battle for SWA's passengers who currently either fly on ATA's 9 daily nonstops between MDW and LGA or go to PHL (west side of NYC) on one of SWA's 8 daily nonstops from MDW? Any fares announced yet?

Should be fun to watch "Citrus" in action (that's what you get when you put an orange in a blender)! I wish FL well, but not too well!
