Inside rumors report that Lynx IS the reason for the bankruptcy. Frontier could just as easily have added the Q400 to the Frontier certificate and made that aircraft the entry level position and negotiated a fair wage scale for that aircraft. The aircraft and it's markets made sense. A whole new airline for just 10 aircraft did not.
