In the early 90's USAir (pre merge) was losing over 2.5 million per day and did so for years and they stood 2 trips through BK until the 2006 merger.
Continetal was "on the Brink" when they went into their second BK in the early 90's after the CAL Lite fiasco and now they are one of the premier US PAX carriers. NWA was in BIG trouble in the late 80's when Cheechi through a leverage buy out, took a company with the best Cash position and put them into heavy debt over night. They survived and prospered until events after 9/11.
Every one of these carriers were "done" within weeks, yet they managed to survive for years.

I realize the environment is different and things look dire for the entire industry. This industry is fickle but No one is gone until it happens. Let's not start the funeral until the EKG shows a flat line.............and then only after a couple of failed electric shock attempts.

I have ridden Frontier on many occasions and they offer a fine product.
Good luck to you all.

Good Call.
