Now things may change at F9 in a couple years to make this less so, but as of now? Let's just be honest here...
wrx - don't take this the wrong way - but in this post you basically just admitted you weren't honest in the interview about this. They probably detected it. It isn't your fault - you're put into an impossible position. You either lie in which case they sniff that out, or you are honest, and they pass over you for it.
I just point this out because you've said many time you don't understand why you didn't get the job.
You ought to take the rejection as a compliment and move on - You're solid Delta material and you know it.
Now as far as there never being a reason a newish hire under 40 with a clean slate would stay at Frontier if a legacy called... Bunk. There are a myriad of good reasons why individual human beings do the things they do, and only rarely is because they are "outright stupid." Life is never as simple as you elude.
I don't know about the future of the Denver base, but I would stay at Frontier forever to avoid commuting to Atlanta or Newark. Bump me out of Denver and well - that's another story.
