Frontier Surviving?
 
I saw that Frontier pulled its Expedia relationship.

Frontier Airlines pulls its flights off Expedia

Is Frontier turning the corner or is this a bad sign?:confused:

I think AA pulled their flights off Expedia or Orbitz when they were in a dispute, but I dont know if Frontier has the power to survive without listing on those sites.

Republic is all about saving money, they will do what ever they can to save money even if it means less revenue (such as this deal). They run the cheapest operation possible.

I would have to guess that Spirit is cheaper. They just joined expedia for what its worth.

You are 100% correct. We are the cheapest operation running. So cheap that they won't pay KCM, EFB, or any other perk you can think of....but on the other hand we do make some sweet cash.

The Frontier NAME will survive after AS buys them and rebrands the operation.

What's the point of making sweet cash if they won't reinvest it into the airline and its employees, for more efficiency (which is really what KCM and EFB is).

Really? Really??? I would say reinvesting it, in the form of 2 brand new simulators and several new aircraft would be a form of reinvesting in the airline. nice try.:rolleyes:

It's not considered investing if you don't own it right? They have no equity built in most if their current fleet.

Aircraft are leased, not owned. Where are these 2 simulators? In the Spirit HQs, a location owned by Spirit elsewhere, or in the Airbus MIA facility?
