Looks like a rapid expansion starting this winter. If they make that a base we'd have new hire captains !! - Highlights - Daily - LAS, MCO, ATL

That place is like a plague, I thought I got rid of it went I left United Express.

I hope everyone is ready for 2 or 3 hour delays and being 20 plus for departure.

Not sure how it works at F9 but we get paid by the minute. EWR, PHL & LGA generally treats my bank account well.

I think someone has already joked that it’s the only base at a major airport that could go junior to Philly. Frontier management has a hard-on for the Northeast, so this makes sense for their growth plans.

It’s more like where there is a high density of population. Pure economics.

I'd like to know the real reason Southwest Is pulling out. Delays hurting the on time performance? Losing money in EWR? Empty planes? Cost of operating out of the sewer?

I’m sure Frontier will find out soon.

My guess is lack of aircraft. They’ve expanded into Hawaii and are supposed to have around 80 MAXs flying by now. If the MAX wasn’t grounded I bet they’d still be in EWR but with new routes to Hawaii something had to give. That said, I’m sure they chose their least profitable routes to cut.

I thought that was implied, but yes I’m sure that’s it.
