Just wondering if you might be able to elaborate. Did people in the same recurrent class hear different things when he came in, or just interpret differently? How recent was that recurrent class?
Thanks, and to you too Xdark. Rumor was that BB (not Bedford) came into recurrent and said ATL, but that was BS per others in the class.
I think they're caught between what makes absolute accounting sense, and what they think they need for IROPS when our northern hubs go TU during winter storms. I think it will be in somewhere in FL - and now I'm $.02 deeper into the betting pool ;-)
Edit: And for double or nothing... I think we'll know by Friday!

Recent, and I chalk it up to the rumor mill since I know the people involved in vetting the rumor.

"The new aircraft will also feature Frontier's slim-line seats, the widest economy seats in the U.S. domestic airline industry. The A320s will be fitted with 186 seats, and the A321s will be fitted with 230 seats." - See more at: FRONTIER AIRLINES ANNOUNCES ORDER FOR NEW AIRCRAFT

How many seats are on Spirits 320s? I know they have the big front seats and a couple rows of extra legroom.
The new high density seating configuration reconfigured the aft gallery and lav to jam an extra row, but the plane needs another exit door, right? At least the 321 needs an extra exit, but I don't know if the planes Frontier ordered will have that option?
Either way, I have to say I was pleasently surprised to see how much room the new slim line seats have. I think there is actually more room with the new seats than the old ones. Hopefully these new seat counts don't ruin that. If they could reconfigure the aft gallery, add an extra row and not reduce the pitch, it'd be a good deal.

I think there is plenty of legroom in every row and I am six foot tall, there was several inches to spare. People just sit with really bad posture, but the "cushions" are TERRIBLE! I'd almost rather stand the whole flight, they are so hard! We should start selling baseball stadium seat cushions... actually that probably is already in the works, and was the plan all along!

However, I disagree about your comment on posture. I thought the new seats actually lead to much better posture as they actually have lumbar support. The old seats were like sitting in a banana, I hate them. To each their own, I suppose.
The legroom is nice and no one can lean back into your space, which is nice, so long as you don't plan on sleeping...
Anyone know the seat pitch on our new slim line compared to spirit?
