If it was just mismanagement, and a gamble of one meat provider, OK.

If it was mismanagement (who hasn't been changed out), AND burgers are no longer "in style" or desired by the consumer, then we have a problem

When Palm (the company who created the Palm Pilot) went out of business, was Blackberry, then owned by RIMM, happy? Yes of course. Basically the only game left in town was Blackberry, in the personal device arena. (To be clear, Palm went out of business because every was "going Blackberry" anyway)

But when Palm folded, Blackberry's "only competitor" was gone. Time to celebrate! Champagne and music filled the air over at Blackberry HQ.

However, another product, with different features, and a cultish fan base, soon took over. It was called the Iphone.

Barry previously, on webcasts, has said "we [Frontier] really don't compete with the Big-3. We compete with Greyhound."

Time will tell if Barry's no wi-fi, no VIP lounge, no deep international product will not be done in by the airline version of the Iphone.
