This wasn’t a shocking announcement in the slightest, at least in this arm chair businessman’s perspective.
this has been my thought and concern with the b6/nk proposal all along. While I would much rather work for b6 as an employee I am not as ready to stake my career in them. Eliminating nk would be temporary as it would create a huge vacuum that frontier would be poised to fill and return as a mega ULCC again but just a few years later
