SCHEDULE 13D/A

This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment”) to Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”), relating to shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Midwest Air Group, Inc. (the “Issuer “), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of (i) Octavian Master Fund, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“Octavian Master”); (ii) Octavian Global Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Octavian Partners”) and general partner of Octavian Master and Octavian Special Master Fund, L.P.

This Amendment is being filed to amend and restate Items 3, 4, 5 and 7 as follows:

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds

As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons have invested in Shares of the Issuer in the amount of: $22,252,138.31. Currently, all Shares of the Issuer as of the date hereof are held by Octavian Master and Octavian Special Master. The above amount includes any commissions incurred in making the investments. The source of these funds was the working capital of the Reporting Persons.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

On the date hereof, the Reporting Persons will issue a press release relating to a proposal from AirTran Airways, Inc. to combine AirTran Airways, Inc. with the Issuer. A copy of the May 17, 2007 press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.

The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares based on the belief that such securities, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Although Reporting Person has no specific plan or proposal to acquire additional Shares or dispose of the Shares, consistent with its investment purpose, Reporting Person at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Shares or dispose of any or all of its Shares depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Shares, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Person and/or other investment considerations The purpose of the acquisition of the Shares is for investment, and the acquisitions of the Shares were made in the ordinary course of business and were not made for the purpose of acquiring control of the Issuer.

Also, consistent with the investment purpose, the Reporting Persons may engage in communications with one or more shareholders of the Issuer, one or more officers of the Issuer and/or one or more members of the board of directors of the Issuer and/or one or more representatives of the Issuer regarding the Issuer, including but not limited to AirTran’s proposal to the Issuer, as described above.

Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal, Reporting Person has no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Person may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider its position and/or change its purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons, other than Octavian Master, beneficially own 1,640,000 Shares of the Issuer and Octavian Master beneficially owns 1,520,000 Shares of the Issuer, which represents 6.7% and 6.2%, respectively, of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares, which such percentages were calculated by dividing (i) 1,640,000 and 1,520,000, respectively, by (ii) 24,589,217 Shares outstanding as of May 11, 2007, based upon the Issuer’s most recent Schedule 14D-9 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 16, 2007.

(b) The Reporting Persons, other than Octavian Master, have the power to vote and dispose of the 1,640,000 Shares held by Octavian Master and Octavian Special Master; and Octavian Master has the power to vote and dispose of the 1,520,000 Shares it holds.

The filing of this statement on Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any of the Reporting Persons is for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owner of any of the 1,640,000 Shares held by Octavian Master or Octavian Special Master. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, each of the Reporting Persons disclaim all such beneficial ownership.

(c) The transactions in the Issuer’s securities by the Reporting Persons during the sixty days prior to the obligation to file this Schedule 13D are listed as Exhibit 2 attached hereto and made a part hereof.

(d) Not Applicable.

(e) Not Applicable.

Octavian to Midwest: The Time Has Come

New York, May 17, 2007 — Octavian Advisors today issued the following statement in response to the overwhelming number of Midwest Air Group’s shareholders (AMEX: MEH)—a group representing 56.6% of the total shares outstanding—who indicated that the company should merge with AirTran Holdings (NYSE: AAI).

“The acceptance of AirTran’s offer by the majority of shareholders is a clear indication of the desire of Midwest’s owners for the board of directors to immediately engage in productive and good faith negotiations to effectuate a transaction,” Richard Hurowitz, CEO of Octavian, said. “The number of shares already tendered into the exchange offer is remarkable given that Midwest has not yet even turned over its shareholder list to AirTran.

We do not believe going through a proxy contest at the annual meeting—a contest that Midwest appears likely to lose—is the best way to combine these two great airlines. We believe all shareholders would be quite concerned if the board does not at this point listen to its constituency and abide by its fiduciary duty to open a real dialogue with AirTran. This obligation is even further reinforced by the tremendous benefits a combination offers to the company’s employees, customers, and the communities of Milwaukee and Kansas City. The time has come for this transaction.”

Octavian is filing this statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission today as an amendment to its 13-D. Octavian Advisors currently owns approximately 6.6% of the shares outstanding of Midwest Airlines.
