I didn't see it posted anywhere, but it looks like a week from Tuesday Republic is going to announce a single brand going forward for both Frontier and Midwest. Supposedly they're making the decision from customer/employee surveys that have been conducted over the past month. The name could end up being Frontier, Midwest, Republic, or something completely new and different.
Sadly, its pretty clear to me that the final name will not be Midwest. The latest E190 to arrive for Midwest at MKE the other week is painted in generic Republic colors, while all the ones to arrive previously were all painted in the Midwest paint scheme. Meanwhile, Frontier just recieved their newest A320 painted in FRONTIER COLORS. If that's not a huge hint, I don't know what is.
