AirTran, Midwest merger cookie crumbles

Travel

Wall Street

AirTran's $431 million takeover bid for Midwest Airlines — beloved by regular passengers for its Signature Service that includes chocolate chip cookies baked fresh onboard — has expired. No doubt good news for the folks over at Save the Cookie, a campaign that rose to petition the takeover attempt. And Midwest already has other plans cooking. The company said instead it's going to move ahead with an all-cash offer from TPG Capital. The private equity firm formerly known as Texas Pacific Group is offering $16 per share for Midwest.
