Midwest has stated thatother airlines are now interested in a possible deal with their company...Could WN make a surpirse offer and beat AirTran at their own games as SWA did in Midway with ATA a few years back? would be very interesting. Any takes?
What about running it as seperate company? Feeding each other flight's sharing reservations and vacation packages.
We are doing it with ATA to a point.
exactly what i was thinking wnbubbleboy. Also they have coveted gates at DCA and LGA as well as MSP. Could finally be the entrance to those long neglected markets with built-in loyalty and passenger base. Also the addition of the fuel efficient B-717 could be used in some of our high-frequency low load routes during off times. Example would be HOU-DAL, LAX-LAS ect. or even use those A/C -after retro-fitting them- into being "business- class" aircraft in Southwest's key business routes.. use them as a kind of shuttle. Between DCA-LGA or even SFO-SAN as a test. offering free drinks on every flight and keep the "cookie". Whatever it takes to stick it to AirTran
But the codeshare with ATA has already been set up. Adding a codeshare with MidWest doesn't have that initial cost. So you add more rows to a table with an airline code of YX instead of TZ, big deal.
They've got 10 flights a day into DCA IIRC, but a bunch of those slots are required to be used to MCI & OMA AFAIK.YX only has a handful of slots at DCA & LGA to run flights to MKE and MCI. They wouldn't be able to run any shuttle ops there.
