Frontier like other airlines have made record profits for the last 6-7 years. They can more than survive a few months of declined revenue. A couple of bad months aren’t going to put them out of business. I think April and May and going to be rough, but I’m hoping by June things will slowly start going back to normal.

That article looks quite recent, I can’t tell when it was originally published but it shows updated just earlier this morning. The most encouraging news I’ve read specifically regarding Indigo (and thus Frontier).

I think Frankie my be looking for "opportunities" to grow........

This is the first positive spin I‘ve seen but it makes sense especially from an investor point of view.

I am not worried about F9 surviving. I just don't want to see furloughs. I admittedly could survive a couple months without pay but it would obviously suck.

We will furlough. We are cutting 70% of may flights. This is unprecedented. Hold on tight

Agreed. As someone said to me, “it’s hard to change direction once you set course on the furlough ship. The company has to make their best estimate on how long the reduction in flying will last and how many furloughs it will require before taking action. They probably already know they’ll be furloughs. They’ll take the COLA requests first and then after that it may take multiple rounds to fine tune it.”

There are so many variables at play. The markets change by the hour, the lockdowns continue to increase, no word on any truly promising treatments or vaccine and Congress is trying to approve a financial aid package, in the form of loans, that will include aid for airlines. They’re probably waiting for more information, just like every other company. I expect the furlough decision to come no sooner than when we have the COLA requests accepted and a clear picture of what aid, if any, that we’ll receive from the government.

I’m curious, why do you think Frontier is best poised to handle this crisis?

can't speak for him, but on the plus side, good balance sheet, low casm, low international exposure, no business travelers.

Possibly last in line for a bailout.

This won't be over soon. This situation gets worse by the day. No one will want to be on airplanes for a while.
Delta seems the most proactive, Spirit is in denial, and everyone else is in between.
