I get your skepticism, and I would t pass on an opportunity to go to a major, but going to another LCC like Frontier is a lateral move from my personal situation here.
Agreed. I wouldn't leave either for another regional or most LCC's. The plan isn't for 145's long term anyway. Right now it's what we can fill with enough revenue to support the operation. As the brand grows, so will the loads and so will the fleet type size. We're getting interline ticketing and baggage now with AA which will also help the loads. They're in a good position to make this place grow fairly fast. Happy to be a part of it.
