Midwest Airlines to Cut 100 Wisconsin Jobs

Midwest Airlines will cut 100 jobs in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, or 9% of its total workforce.

Back office and administrative positions at the airline’s Oak Creek headquarters were targeted. Those let go will get severance.

The layoffs leave Midwest’s Milwaukee area operation with 1,000 employees.

Midwest Airlines, formerly Midwest Express, is an airline subsidiary of Republic Airways Holdings, based in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, operating from the city’s General Mitchell International Airport.
