Midwest Airlines Takeover
Despite AirTran's guarantees that the people of Milwaukee would not see a decline in quality and service if they were to take over Midwest Airlines, I'm not buying it.
They recently increased their buyout offer and are trying to fight their way onto the board of directors. Hopefully shareholders are wise and realize the value of the Midwest brand name and the quality that comes with it. Those shareholders in Wisconsin should also be well aware of the investment that Midwest makes in the Milwaukee community through donations, sponsorships, and general partnerships. You can rest assured that money would dwindle to a fraction of its previous level if AirTran takes over.
It is the quality of companies like Midwest that prevent Milwaukee from becoming Detroit, Michigan or Gary, Indiana. Let's not let AirTran take that from us.

Dear Midwest Airline Stock Holders,
You will be losing an excellent airline if you choose to sell your stock. The question you must ask yourself is do you want to fly like a sardine or a King. You will lose the 4 across seating. You will lose the great meals. You will lose the nonstop flights. You will lose the cookies. You will lose an investment in our city. Please consider the long run as you would any stock and look for the value that Midwest has.
