I was talking to a Horizon FO the other day. He said Frontier didn't like their proposal for the Q400 flying. Apparently the objection was the maintenance costs. Apparently Frontier is finding out the maintenance costs projected by Horizon were right on, and they're feeling the squeeze. Hope it all works out for the Lynx guys. Of course, I'm sure ExpressJet will be happy to help out if needed. The industry knows who to go to in troubling times.
