			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, on my previous post I mentioned how I went back to Milwaukee for the first time in 7 years.  Well, I flew Midwest Airlines.  Midwest Airlines used to be Midwest Express Airlines and I used to work for Midwest way back in the day.  Midwest always had a reputation as &#8220;the best care in the air&#8221;.  Their whole deal was 2 across leather seating, dining on fine china, and hot freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.  Well it seems they don&#8217;t do any of that anymore or at least part of the time.</p>
<p>I was first of all shocked when I was browsing their website the night before my flight to see what gourmet meal I would be getting.  I was horrified to find that I would have to pay $7-10 for the meal.  Looking further at the fine print I discovered that there are no meals from the west coast.  Therefore I would have none!!!  When I got on the plane they acutally had a stale english muffin with a hunk of sausage for $7.  No china or silverware, it was in a BOX!!!!!  Then later on my return flight I did get some chocolate chip cookies, but they were COLD!!!!  WHAT HAPPENED!  MIDWEST USED TO BE BY FAR,  BY FAAAAR, THE BEST CARE IN THE AIR!  But now they&#8217;re just like everyone else.  I&#8217;m told that some of their planes don&#8217;t even have leather seating.  What&#8217;s the point?  Why would I want to fly them anymore?  Plus, most (not all) of the flight attendants were bitter and surly.  What on Earth is going on behind the scenes at Midwest? </p>
<p>Wait, don&#8217;t even get me started on the shithole that is Kansas City airport, where I had a 3 hour and 15 minute layover.  It was supposed to be a 2 hour layover, but the plane was late.  The MCI airport bars and newsstands don&#8217;t stay open past 8pm.  The passengers on our delayed flight just wandered aimlessly around a dead airport, like some Twilight Zone episode.  Don&#8217;t you think Midwest could have talked someone into keeping a bar open for it&#8217;s inconvenienced passengers?  Or at least gave us a free coke or something? </p>
