SkyWest to Start Flying for AirTran in Milwaukee
You cheeseheads may still be hurting from your second Favre-related beatdown this year, but you can rejoice that you now have yet another airline coming to town. SkyWest (yes, the regional airline) will begin flying for AirTran in Milwaukee. It’s...

Midwest and Frontier Start Swapping Airplanes in the Middle of the Day

Republic Wins the Right to Buy Frontier – Now What?

Details of Obama’s Wild Plane Ride
