Midwest Airlines' parent company says it will lay off nearly 200 employees in November.

Milwaukee-based Midwest Air Group Inc. says the affected positions include about 73 pilots and 82 flight attendants.

They say about 31 others, mostly mechanics, will also be laid off.

An airline spokesman says the company hopes the layoffs will be temporary, and says the goal is to recall the workers within eight months to a year.

Midwest announced the cuts Monday in a letter to the State's Department of Workforce Development.

In July, the company announced it was cutting 1200 jobs, about 40% of its work force.
