For those that had booked Met Jet out of Austin Straubel (GRB)l, unless your flight is in Oct or later, you're out of luck.

Since their primary market is Orlando, I wanted to post so people would be aware of the change.
De Pere - A new air service provider, based in De Pere, cancels its first four months of flights. It announced in February that it would offer inexpensive round-trip flights from Green Bay to Orlando, Florida and Minneapolis, Minnesota starting May 25, 2012. Austin Straubel Airport's director says Orlando is the top destination for Northeast Wisconsin residents.
MetJet is now in the process of notifying the thousands of passengers who have booked vacations. Staff spent Tuesday morning printing, folding and sending out cancellation notices.
"We made the decision to cancel these flights, rather than string our customers along," says MetJet CEO Mike Heisman.
In a letter, Heisman explains what lead to the current events.
It reads in part, "Recently, our credit card processor notified us that due to the risks associated with processing tickets for flights, they made the decision to stop serving MetJet ... This would have created a scenario where MetJet would quickly use all of its money and would have to cease operations."
Heisman explains further. "I wanted the letter to go into detail about what we were facing and what we tried to do to avoid the situation."
