Republic Airways (RJET)

Republic Airways (NASDAQ:RJET), the new owner of Midwest Airlines has added almost 400 jobs in Milwaukee since last October, according to WHBL.com. That’s approximately half the 800 total jobs that Republic Airways promised to add by the end of this year. However, it still doesn’t come close to replacing the 2,600 jobs Midwest has dropped since the start of 2008.
Republic says it has 1,140 employees in Milwaukee and nearby Oak Creek. The new jobs are designed to boost Midwest’s market share in Milwaukee, which has dropped from 50 percent to around 35 percent.
