Spirit does advertisements, since when? If you’re referring to the Flash banner at the top of Spirits home page I guess the route lines showing new service are kind of tealish but they can’t do everything black and yellow and I do seem to recall that about a year and a half or so ago it was announced that new “highlight” color(s)would be introduced into branding. Frontier’s main color is a deep green, not even close to teal. They do have that arrow on thier new paintjob that is close to teal but is more of a light blue.

I’m not saying for a second that a Frontier marriage is out of the realm of possibility, but I seriously doubt that the powers that be are going to subtly drop hints by adding a secondary color to our branding that our potential partner also happens to use as a secondary color about a merger/aqusition that otherwise needs to be kept very tight lipped until the deal is final and announced as it would likely generate huge competitive response and likely major opposition.

It’s reminds me of the time about 5 years ago that an NK FA swore to me that a Southwest merger was imminent because some of the Coke cans in her galley cart had Southwest branding. She insisted it was hints being dropped by Mgmt., I was fairly certain it was a catering mix up.
