I flew them a couple times on MKE-PUJ, and always preferred them over Ryan International's chartered flights. Here's one of my trip reports from '09 if anyone wants to check it out:

Will you watch the Cleveland Browns and the Detroit Lions on Sunday? Only if coach Eric Mangini resigned after a loss.

Very Sad day. Sorry to see this. U5 has bailed me out as a nonrev at least 5 times!

We have already seen the repainted F9 aircraft fly in to replace the U5 routes for Apple Vacations out of ORD. N261AV, but no posted pictures on Anet yet.

Very sad to see U5 leaving the business. I flew them several times from PHL to Tampa/Clearwater and always enjoyed their product. The A320's were all fairly new and well-kept, and the in-flight service was great, especially when one considers the uber-cheap airfare. U5s corporate offices were in the western suburbs of Philadelphia (near where my mother lived prior to her death) and I always tried to support the "home town" airline whenever I could. Best wishes to all of the U5 employees.

Quoting b757capt (Reply 4):

At least two leases will be taken over by Frontier (F9). Not sure on the other aircraft.
