                                  JOHN P. SALL


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 John P. Sall,  whose  business
address is SAS Campus Drive, Cary, North Carolina 27513.


ITEM 4:  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

     On March 29, 2000, the Company announced a rights offering on the following
terms:

         o        A right to purchase a share of Common  Stock will be issued to
                  each holder of Common  Stock on a share for share  basis.  The
                  Rights  will be issued to holders of Common  Stock on the date
                  which  is  10  days  after  the  filing  of  the  registration
                  statement covering such rights (the "Record Date"). The Record
                  Date  may  be  postponed  pending  the  effectiveness  of  the
                  registration  statement  covering such rights. The rights will
                  be  issued  immediately  following  the  effectiveness  of the
                  registration statement covering such rights.

         o        Each right shall  entitle the holder  thereof to purchase  one
                  share of Common Stock for $5.20 per share of Common Stock.

         o        Rights to purchase  shares of Common  Stock will not be listed
                  on Nasdaq or any other  exchange and will not be  transferable
                  or assignable.

         o         Rights will be exercisable for 30 days from date issued.

     Mr. Sall and James H. Goodnight,  Ph.D., have each agreed to exercise their
respective rights. Messrs. Goodnight and Sall have also each agreed to purchase,
and all  other  holders  of  Common  Stock on the  Record  Date who have  timely
exercised  all of their  rights  will  also have the  right to  purchase  at the
subscription  price,  such shares of Common Stock subject to rights issued which
have not been

<PAGE>


timely  exercised  multiplied  by their  percentage  ownership  interests in the
Common Stock on the Record Date.

     Assuming the Company engages in the rights offering as described above, Mr.
Sall will maintain his current ownership percentage in the outstanding shares of
Common  Stock of 15.5% (or 47.4% on a shared  basis with Dr.  Goodnight)  if all
shareholders  of the Company  timely  exercise all of their  rights.  Mr. Sall's
ownership in the  outstanding  shares of Common Stock would increase to 22.7% of
the  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock (or 69.4% on a shared  basis  with Dr.
Goodnight),  if all shareholders other than Dr. Goodnight do not timely exercise
any of their rights.

     In a related matter,  the Company entered into a two year revolving  credit
facility dated as of March 31, 2000 with Reedy Creek Investments, LLC, an entity
wholly owned by Messrs.  Goodnight and Sall.  Under the terms of the $30,000,000
facility,  the commitment  reduces to $10,000,000  upon the earlier of September
30, 2000 and the date the rights offering described above is completed.


                *          *          *          *          *          *

     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.



April 7, 2000                               /s/ John P. Sall
