The F9 pilots need to realize all the concessions in the World will not save them from the onslaught of a revitalized CAL/United and Southwest battling for Denver. Delta is also running a lot of flight out of there.

Frontier is a cool airline and I get the employee's loyalty, but Republic does not know how to make the secret sauce which would allow Frontier to beat their much better established competition. The Frequent Flier and network advantages of SWA, UAL and DAL out of Denver will drain the badly needed high revenue passengers away.

Frontier should have never had a cash crunch and never entered bankruptcy. But it happened and the results are what they are. Hopefully we can all pull together to help the F9 guys find careers that restore some of what they lost.
