this is random, but the most significant thing I remember from flying with midwest is that they serve fresh baked chocolate chip cookies on every flight. Is that written somewhere? If yes, I think it would be a fun trivia thingey. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.128.79.129 (talk • contribs) 11:59, 8 November 2006 (UTC-8)

[edit] DELETE "THE COOKIE ARTICLE"

iT HAS NO RELEVENSE TO BEING ON THE PAGE. SO WHAT IF THEY HAVE COOKIES ON THEIR FLIGHT. SHOULD THERE BE A PEANUT SECTION ON SOUTHWEST AIRLINES PAGE. IM DELETING IT EFFECTIVE EMEDIATLY. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.16.109.18 (talk)

This is a singular effort by 76.16.109.18 to vandalize the article now violating the three reversion rule. 76.16.109.18 has numerous talk messages about vandalism. Cookies and wide-seats define the Midwest experience as different from other airlines. The information is referenced and was used in Midwest's savethecookie campaign to stop a takeover. If Southwest Airlines decides that its peanuts are so distinctive as to sell them at ballparks and launch a savethepeanut campaign that would be notable in the Southwest article also. 76.16.109.18 contribution is so wrong on so many levels.

A differing opinion . . . please don't delete the cookie reference . . .

I just updated the cookie portion of the page. I disagree about it being non-relevant. Oddly enough, it has become an icon for the airline, and a product element that has remained unchanged for many years. Amazing this has occurred in an era in which almost everything about on board service has gone through drastic change. I have a bit of knowledge on this topic, as I am the employee who developed the idea.

[edit] Dates

There are two styles of dates in the article. The "27 October 2007" style is used more often than the "October 27, 2007" style. In the US, the latter is more common. YX is a US carrier. WP:DATE states that either style is acceptable but that only one style should appear in each article. Any desire to change the dates to the "October 27, 2007" style? If not, this style should be changed to the "27 October 2007" style.

I favor "October 27, 2007" style for this article. Archtransit 23:17, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] OMA As A Midwest Airlines Focus City

Since Midwest is ending LAX service from Omaha and now only has flights to MKE and DCA, can we really call it a focus city anymore? Everyone's opinions are appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MasonJ0890 (talk • contribs) 02:12, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

I didn't want to call it a focus city to begin with, I mean 3 destinations from 1 city? come on, but it was listed in a reference. I wouldn't include it now; there are cities that have service to both MKE and MCI and they aren't considered focus cities...Sox23 18:30, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Midwest Airlines Logo.svg

Image:Midwest Airlines Logo.svg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
