                            JAMES H. GOODNIGHT, PH.D.


ITEM 1:  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

         This  Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock (the "Common  Stock") of
Midway Airlines  Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation  (the  "Company"),  whose
principal  executive  offices  are  located  at 2801  Slater  Road,  Suite  200,
Morrisville, NC 27560.

ITEM 2:  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

         The person filing this Schedule 13D is James H. Goodnight, Ph.D., whose
business address is SAS Campus Drive, Cary, North Carolina 27513.

ITEM 3: SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

         Funds that were used to acquire the  additional  shares of Common Stock
as outlined in Item 4 below were personal funds.

ITEM 4:  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

     In connection with the Company's  rights offering which expired on July 26,
2000, Dr. Goodnight purchased an additional 4,003,953 shares of the Common Stock
at $5.20 per share.  Due to the exercise of  over-subscription  privileges,  the
determination  of the  actual  number of shares  purchased  was  determined  and
released by the Corporation on August 2, 2000.

         In the future,  Dr.  Goodnight  may elect to buy  additional  shares of
Common Stock from time to time or at any time in brokerage  transactions  on the
open  market  or  in   privately   negotiated   transactions,   if   appropriate
opportunities to do so are available,  on such terms as he considers desirable,
depending on his continuing assessment of certain factors, including,  without
limitation: the Company's business,  financial condition,  results of operations
and prospects;  changes in the laws and regulations of the United States and the
various  states  concerning  or  affecting  airlines  generally  and the Company
specifically;  other business and investment opportunities available; the prices
at which shares of Common Stock are trading;  general economic  conditions;  and
stock market and money market conditions. Dr. Goodnight and John P. Sall may act
in conjunction  with each other with respect to their  respective  investments
in the Company  and in  deciding  what  future  action  either  or both of them
should undertake with respect to their interests.

ITEM 5: INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         As of the date hereof,  Dr. Goodnight  beneficially owns 6,749,227,  or
approximately  44.5%,  of the shares of Common  Stock  outstanding,  based on an
aggregate of 15,174,755 shares outstanding



<PAGE>


following the rights  offering.  Dr.  Goodnight has sole voting and  dispositive
power with respect to all of these shares.

     Dr.  Goodnight  may,  under rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission,  be deemed to share voting and dispositive power as to the
shares owned by Mr. Sall. In that case, Dr.  Goodnight would own an aggregate of
10,027,421  shares of Common  Stock,  or 66.1%,  of the  shares of Common  Stock
outstanding.  Dr.  Goodnight  disclaims  beneficial  ownership  of the shares of
Common Stock owned by Mr. Sall.


                                    * * * * *

         After reasonable  inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I
certify that the information  set forth in this statement is true,  complete and
correct.



August 11, 2000                             /s/ James H. Goodnight
