It fell through because GK gave SWAPA/FAPA 48 hours to hammer out an SLI. Frontier allegedly wanted all Captains seats on the Busses and a 10 year fence around Denver. SWAPA said no go and GK said fine and dropped out of the bidding process after getting a look at the books. At the time we were told that we would be buying 1 for 1 -700 replacements for all of Frontier's Airbii and that Boeing would remarket the Frontier fleet to foreign Airlines. Obviously none of this ever happened and I don't see anything that's markedly changed from Southwest's perspective to make them go after Frontier yet again. Who knows though, I didn't see the AirTran deal coming either.
