There has been no unfair treatment of Frontier by DIA. It's just business. F9 spent the past several years being run by a regional airline that only needed F9 as a debt shield and before them botched every opportunity to expand. It doesn't pay to be small in this business. Bigger money will always get better deals.

We are downsizing Denver because point to point traffic creates far higher yields than the headaches of connecting traffic. It's as simple as that. No executive is sitting in the leather high-back chair with a glass of scotch raising their fist in the air screaming, "I'll show you Denver International!" But hey, your wild imaginations are always appreciated for giggles.
