The Frontier folks run a good airline and have great crews. Regardless of management the character and professionalism of those there doesn't change. While true that it isn't a Midwest painted plane doing all the flying that doesn't mean the people are receiving any less of a product. I wouldn't discount the RAH group in it's entirety as not providing a great service either. Outside of a small few people each and every pilot I've flown with has been exceptional at doing whatever it takes to get the people where they want to go in a very safe and efficient manner.

I know that it's easy for some to see any change as a bad thing here since it's what we do for a living. However I also see a lot of bashing on topics that really don't make much of a difference. Just like this on BB's statement about MKE. Are people here really trying to say that MKE is a tourist destination? My family and I have traveled my entire life and at no point has anyone said "I want to go to MKE". I think things here are being taken out of context and not focused where they should be. I'm not a BB cheerleader by any means but don't feel he's wrong in what he's said here. I do however feel he's going to severely tank if he doesn't do something to up the quality of our FA's. If there is going to be loss of traffic and lack of brand loyalty it's not going to be because of this article. It's going to be because of the trailer park FA's that don't think twice about providing any kind of customer service. Don't confuse the quality of the FA with the quality of the guy in the cockpit. I've always felt proud of the professionalism most our crews show.
How about the person who buys a ticket on F9 and connects through DEN to MKE. They get a F9 flight, operated by RAH, and to top it off its a 190 painted up as MEH. ***.....

"IF" you got to be kidding. The market share has tanked from its high and will never recover. I have lived here most of my life and the majority of people in the community I know and talk with are not fooled by the charade thats playing out. In fact many are downright fed up with the airline and have stated they will not fly on it.

Bedford is so stupid to poison the well, The bread and butter are the 1+ mil. locals from MKE who booked exclusively on MEH. Until now.

Old byran probably has not driven a WI highway near Lake Geneva, Door County, the Dells, and certainly not the north woods. He might be asking the same question we often do. Why do so many cars have Illinois plates???
