Not a fan of this move.
Lynx is profitable... and efficient regional feed is crucial to winning Denver. Sadly (for us) Bedford thinks his empire is better off with an all jet fleet. Bedford spoke to us about "people" wanting jets and not props right after the auction so we saw it coming. Guess he will see how "people" like getting bumped in the summer.

All emotions aside... and seeing what Ejets and Q's both do... it is a BAD decision. They might find a way to get into ASE with an Ejet... but sure as hell not with ME in it.

To parrot what another poster said, thanks to all the folks at Lynx and Frontier for the memories. The mainline crews have always been professional and respectful. I have never seen any of that my airplane is bigger than your airplane attitude. I have had a blast flying the Q with a great group of people... good luck to everyone.

Cheers.
