Bloodbath 2008: Skyway gets severed like John Wayne Bobbit

We've reached victim numero cinco on our Bloodbath 2008 Watch as Midwest Air Group (the parent company of Midwest Airlines) lopped off Skyway Airlines like a cheating appendage. Employees, family members, and fans of the tiny airline used for Midwest Connect services were there as Skyway flew it's last flight into its home in Milwaukee, WI on Saturday. Midwest Air Group chose to scrap Skyway in favor of farming out their flying to Skywest (no relation) in an attempt to stay above water in this sinking economy with it's outrageously high fuel prices. Skyway, known for flying it's fleet of Dornier 328Jets and Beech 1900s, was actually hardly known, unless you lived in the Great Lakes region. Midwest Air Group will eventually sell off their aircraft. RIP, Skyway-X.
