Unless I missed something, I always thought the plan was fleet replacement (old, for new), then when fully swapped out, straight growth....that's exactly what's happened so far + some unplanned 321s...like all of them.
Yes, you must be the only sane one. Some of us that are 'freaking out' have been here much longer than you. This is my fifth management team going back to Potter and third ownership. Each one has promised this pilot group the sky and had a vision that was going to be great for Frontier. Each one to date has failed. Each time our hopes were dashed, and we barely survived as an airline. We endured the Republic debacle. It is understandable to have our guard up and be cautiously skeptical (although I am personally optimistic with the Indigo ownership, but not the BB / JN leadership).
Compared to many, it has been pie in the sky for you. During your brief time here, the economy has been good, all airlines are making record profits, you have enjoyed a very quick upgrade at a major airline in an Airbus, and the only ownership team you have experienced here has so far delivered (minus the lousy contract and schedules).
Congratulations and good for you, but please don't come on here and talk down to me and tell me you are the only sane one. (And since when is a 3 year old 320, that is going away, an old airplane??)
