- Midway's Hard Landing
- </hdr><body>
- <p> The dwindling ranks of the U.S. airline industry lost another
- contender last week: Chicago-based Midway Airlines, the 12th
- largest U.S. carrier. Midway suddenly ceased operations after
- much larger Northwest Airlines pulled out of a $153 million
- merger deal that would have rescued the bankrupt Chicago
- airline, which was started in 1979. Northwest said it backed out
- because it had been given incorrect revenue data. But Midway is
- weighing a lawsuit. The collapse put Midway's 4,300 employees
- into unemployment lines and left passengers stranded in many of
- the 41 cities Midway had served.
