I don't mean that in a RAH vs F9 kind of way or an IBT vs FAPA battle.

Any F9 pilot with a hint of reality and perspective realizes that F9 in its current form is unsustainable. Sure we are "profitable" (as in Balance Sheet/P&L) on an annual basis for one of the first times in years. But Siegel recently pointed out that we are still operating with a negative cash flow.

There WILL be additional consolidation amongst the LCC's. Wether or not F9 participates in the consolidation or just dies on the vine remains to be scene, but the chances of "Frontier" existing in three or four years is basically 0%.

The imminent transaction involving F9 and some other entity (probably not another air carrier) will probably provide a glimpse of where Frontier Airlines is headed next.

On a related note, why haven't sizzle or tiller or vega or any of the RAH gents commented on my question a few weeks ago. Are you guys going to support the Frontier pilots as we strive to increase "pay and benefits" for all professional pilots (you know, your excuse for litigating LOA 67) or are you going to proceed with your efforts to prevent an investor from purchasing F9?
