Frontier Airlines, which has been slashing service at General Mitchell International Airport , is offering select Wisconsin residents a one-time opportunity to convert accumulated frequent flier miles to Delta Air Lines’ rewards program.

“In recent months, Frontier has announced significant reductions to its Milwaukee flight schedule as part of a companywide effort to return to profitability,” a message posted on Frontier’s website states. “We realize that the reductions may inconvenience Frontier EarlyReturns members and make it difficult to earn and use the Frontier EarlyReturns miles they already have.”

Frontier is making the conversion offer as a “courtesy” to its frequent fliers who reside in Wisconsin, according to the statement.

Mile conversions will be done on an even basis. For example, 1,000 EarlyReturns miles will equal 1,000 Delta miles.

Frontier frequent fliers must register by Aug. 31 if interested in making the conversion. The offer is limited to program participants with valid Wisconsin addresses, the website states.

To participate in the offer, all EarlyReturns miles must be converted to Delta frequent flier miles.

In an email sent to members of Frontier’s EarlyReturns program, the airline noted that Delta is growing its presence in Milwaukee, and by July expects to have 31 nonstop flights each weekday from Milwaukee to Atlanta, Cincinnati, Detroit, Memphis, Minneapolis-St. Paul and New York City’s two major airports, John F. Kennedy International and LaGuardia.

Delta and Delta Connection carriers serve more than 340 destinations worldwide — offering travelers “nearly unlimited travel opportunities from Milwaukee,” the email states.

Frontier had operated a hub at Mitchell until beginning a series a drastic service cuts late last year. Additional cuts that went into effect at the beginning of June leave Frontier with just seven daily departures at Mitchell, compared with 86 last year.

Indianapolis-based Republic Airways Holdings Inc. purchased Frontier and Midwest Airlines, which had been based in Oak Creek, in separate deals in 2009. Frontier eventually absorbed the Midwest brand and operations.
Sweet more milers. From Frontier.

Wait, what?

Who's flying in/out of MKE nowadays? Is it a ghost town or has someone new moved in there? Is DAL picking up Frontier's slack?

I guess. I just wonder how this came about. Did we make a move to buy them out? Fine I suppose, I just get really nervous these days when we do anything hand in hand with that vile beast Republic especially after the trash they've been spewing about their C Series/Skyteam ambitions. They need to liquidate. Period.

I just don't see why we'd want Frontier. We could own MKE tomorrow if we wanted it. And why fight over DEN? We have SLC. We can get Airbii yesterday if we need them, so why go there?

They offer nothing substantial that Delta doesn't already have, or could get quickly.

That would amount to 70 fewer large RJs flying for delta. Sounds good to me! And they'd have to trade in 70 seaters to get them.

Anyone else notice that DALPA said the company's "deadline" was July 1...and that we were going to shorten the voting period to 30 days...and that the vote still isn't open?

It almost sounds like some do not consider the 70 seater a large rj. I certainly do.
