Speaking of.....any rumors on an RDU base? I am very new to this forum, so I'm just in the beginning of my digging around on here but Frontier is sort of at the front of my mind at the moment. A Raleigh base would be perfect.
And just a random question, what are a few out of the country overnights?

Thanks!

No idea on RDU. It’s possible, but I wouldn’t be surprised either way. Things change so rapidly around here.

The only 3 overnights I’ve seen outside of the 48 states lately are San Juan PR, Cancun, and Punta Cana.

It’s been 66 million years since the Yucatán asteroid exterminated the dinosaurs. Does that mean we are overdue? If you flip a fair coin three times and it turns up heads each time (a 0.125 probability), does that mean the NEXT flip is more or less likely to be heads?

The comment was a humorous one and I chuckled.

Yes, we are overdue for another plague of dinosaurs.

More likely, because you are inadvertently flipping the fair coin in an unfair manner.

Look to Spirit as an example of what happened durning the last recession. They bargained for a substantial contract against Indigo.
In fact during the last economic downturn their pay went above a few majors.

And to “unprotected pilot” who started the post, who cares if they say where the growth will happen. So much of the US market is under served by the ULCC business model F9 can throw darts at a map, start service there and be successful.

That is a gross understatement... we announced a boatload of cities out of atl a few years ago... delta proceeded to price match and drove us out of quite a few markets in a matter of a couple months... atl-mem lasted a month... what happened to mco-psm, btv, lax, sfo?? They work hard to figure out what MIGHT work... we announced like 8 cities from Cuba and went to one... that lasted maybe 3 months... city pairs disappear and change monthly... it is definitely underserved compared to the success in Europe but this isn’t Europe so we’ll just have to see

Such an obvious point, yet this somehow eluded my thinking. You're right.
