Barry himself said he doesn't compete with Big-3. He competes with Greyhound. This is on a webcast circa 2021 or so.

Frontier is not "targeting" any legacies. LOL

We did open Phx, phl, Mia, dfw, and ord domiciles. I’d be surprised if clt doesn’t happen at some point. Barry says a lot of things.

Barry is smart and outsources "market research" to Big-3. He then sees that the last Big-3 flight at that airport is 11PM and the first one is at 0600. Barry then tosses a 1130P departure and a 0530 departure onto the schedule. Business 101

Barry also knows he cannot pick fights with Mike Tyson or Lennox Lewis and is not targeting Big-3.

To your point, a CLT base would absolutely make sense.
