I heard a rumor the other day, that we were considering buying Frontier's Airbus orders. I think that would be the best of both worlds, but no one asked me.
what moving pieces? They have the sam planes with different engines? we're already redoing all of our airbus cabins, whats another 60?
West coast guys get a Den base, the combined airline basically doubles its size in 5 years. If you're on the bottom today you'll be 50-60% in 5-6 years. Not bad imo.
As for the SLI... we work it out or we don't and it goes to arbitration. Worst case is a timed base fence I would think.
just my opinion, but before F9 got bastardized by bedford and the indigo group it was a fantastic ride, I used them pretty regular commuting east coast west coast. I think we'd come together fairly seamlessly.
anyhow, times change and I'm usually wrong
