And me....

For three of the four trips I have taken this year that involved air transportation, i used "poor man's', or otherwise METRA and Blue Line.

Takes about two hours (direct Limo 1/2hr) and It works for me, and even if a travesty I hope will one day be corrected, "the price is right".

Actually, in one very real sense, Midwest is no more. As of earlier this month, the operations under the Midwest operating certificate were shut down. Today, Midwest is just a marketing name for flights legally operated by other airlines. If you go to their (poor) website (poor because it wants full city names; you can't enter airport codes), you'll find that every flight is footnoted as being operated by another airline.
