I'm pushing him towards JetBlue because it seems like a better company overall. Frontier is a riskier move, though the payoff may be higher. I just think Franke and Co. are a big risk to Frontier, and frankly, they're not innovating. To assume they can just pull of a Spirit 2.0 isn't that simple.
Yes ord is very stagnant. Has been, I am not based there so can't provide any juicy rumors. I have been commuting for Frontier since day 1, it's extremely stressful and a waste of time to the point where I will most likely move to a base. That aspect in terms of quality of life goes a long way.
We have been pulling "spirit 2.0" for the last 6 years very successfully. Now the operation on other had is a different issue, however just looking at performance B6 isn't that much better.
