D Schurz one said in recurrent "No LCC has crossed the atlantic, and survived. Do we wanna be the first to try? With NBs?"

I always felt like he was one of the adults in the room. But, I could be wrong. Here we are.

well, Dan left.

Lots of airlines are doing it….but not with 340 passengers…

not sure I’d go that far. They are in more debt… but they have some assets that have not been leveraged against and they own what, half the planes if not more? The frontier assets 🤔. They turned an operational profit with paying the pilots. Frontier lost money operationally and pay like 40% less salary.

Circling the drain rapidly. Indigo milked Frontier as much as it could and I’m sure they have an exit strategy.

Alaska/Hawaiian is hiring as well as United and I believe Delta. Heck if this place is imminently doomed like you say I'd look at Atlas, Netjets, etc as well. Good luck to you!

The faucet is about to be cranked up in 2026 that is for sure. Our attrition rates are going to rise considerably.

If they are, and he still left, what does that tell you about Frontier ?

Eh. 99% sure he was asked nicely to leave. Probably because he bruised BB's ego. He knew the 80-90% turn model wouldn't work. He said it in a rgs like a year before he left. Look where we are now?? I'd fire BB and hire DS tomorrow. This turn thing isn't being talked about enough imo. BB blew everything up to try this even when DS and Crew Planning explicitly said it wasn't possible. Now we have too many small bases spread too thin and nothing is working properly and no one is happy. Great plan Barry.
