Default CLT base

Hi all,

Whats the rumor about a potential Charlotte base?
I know chances are that there will be a new base announced within the next couple of months, but do you think there is any truth to it being CLT?

No idea. Most expect either LAX/SFO/ONT (a cali base) or RDU.

1. My personal opinion is there will be no California pilot bases

2. I heard RDU was shelved due to some issues the City/Airport and Frontier could not agree on

3. I wonder if "more new bases" are still on the table right now

I'd say everything is on hold until the Spirit deal is finished, then they'll have their hands full with that for 1-2 years too.

If we do proceed with the Spirit deal this is likely how it will go. Frontier could easily backfill several bases and get the smaller ones up to around 100 per seat with the future deliveries. The focus would be on getting details ironed out for the merged airline.

I echo everyone’s responses. If we merge with Spirit I would be real curious what happens with Orlando and Vegas. Those seem like they would be too huge once combined.

Probably just do what they need and get them merged, then you have multiple bases with PLENTY of pilots. backfilling is starting with hiring and we will likely see 60+ in every base.

They do, probably shrink them a little bit and trade or move/buy gates in other domiciles. I know ATL is big for both as well. We get all the gates in LGA. ORD/MDW. it would be interesting to see how it will work with routes and the frequency we could offer which would cater towards that more business esque market BB so often talks about.

The recent NK furlough reduction bid has big cuts in FLL/MCO/LAS in that order

CLT all but confirmed. RDU is not a possibility due to airport constraints. No room for crew room or other facilities
