- Loyal following of customers who rave about its inflight product

- Recently managed to lower cost structure
- Now aligned with shareholder Northwest

Weaknesses and threats:
- Growth potential not obvious; Milwaukee and its other hubs relatively small and slow-growing markets
- Poor record of financial performance in the post 9/11 era
- AirTran came to Milwaukee anyway; recent route pulldowns and layoffs a sign that its new owners may have limited patience to sustain losses
