The fact is they are a heck of a lot cheaper than Republic or any other RJ company. I believe that Lynx will help, not hurt, Frontier's chance of survival.

Another thing... Aspen used to be United's #1 domestic market. If Frontier/ Lynx can survive till next winter we will be in pretty darn good shape.
Yes, I do have the data.

And I am saying that they will be no factor in Frontier's survival. There is no evidence that they are contributing anything close to what it would take in revenue to make a meaningful difference in the outcome.
