Having a whole separate airline with all of the duplicated functions and only 10 airplanes did not make sense. Don't get me wrong. I always have considered the Lynx employees to be top notch, and their DOT record speaks for that, but I have always also considered them to be Frontier employees. If B.B. does decide to keep them in some form, they deserve to be on the Frontier certificate.
I agree completely.
Remember though that part of the reason Lynx was created was to get fee for departure contracts for other airlines... of course with the Ch 11 and the recession nobody signed up. If we could have had diversified the revenue stream with a long term contract our situation would be different right now.
