If Frontier doesn't have DCA slots . . . well, it makes even LESS sense for Spirit to buy them, as 'CanoePilot' speculated.
They operate both the Airbus and Embraer in DCA. The Republic (Frontier) E190 does the DCA-MCI stuff while DCA-DEN is left to the Airbus.
I hope something good works out for F9 folks. Such a great group of people.
