If this happens, Republic will just fly 190's in place of A320's and the Frontier pilots will be gone. I have a hard time believing Republic only bought 2 190's.
Having Frontier pilots on the seniority list with their current pay scales and fences may be better in the long run as opposed to giving up scope for the opportunity to run independelty for a couple of months before the 190's come in.
That makes no sense. Frontiers CASM is LESS flying an A320 than RAH flying a 190 for pathetic wages. Its one thing to fly under someone in a 170/190, but to be the new "brand" and on your own flying a 170/190 makes no financial sense.
