Agreed, as I understand it, nowhere has Frontier stated that they intend to return ALL airframes currently on property. Correct me if I off the mark on this, but I understood BB's statement about returning airplanes to include only those airframes who's lease terms were on the expensive side. The 4 320's we recently added from Monarch, for example, would stay. In fact, I understood that not all, but most, of the current 320's would be staying, at least initially.

Depending on who you hear from during recurrent, you could hear a final "right sized" fleet number between 150-200 airplanes, eventually.

That being said, if Frontier's biggest obstacle right now is getting airplanes and training pilots to fill the seats at a pace to keep up with Indigo's aggressive growth plans, it's hard to imagine returning airframes just because a newer one arrived (unless returning said airframe terminates an unfavorable lease.)

But all I do is dangle the Dunlop's. I'm usually the last to know any of the cool stuff.
