The optimist in me is thinking heck yeah let’s throw some respectable frequency on these routes and show Kirby what it really means to meaningfully compete with our CASM that’s something like 40% lower than his. The pessimist worries that we can or will even attempt to do that.
Frontier pays their pilots 50% less than UAL rates. Any profit ULCC makes on these routes is off the pilots backs.
