I tend to agree. Not without a lot of changes.

Well, I don't see it. When they built up Spirit they had other airline investments, and they didn't transfer any airplanes away Spirit. The bigger F9 gets, the more money for an IPO, the more money for a sale, etc.
They claim F9 is a cash cow, so why divert resources away from it? Yes there is opprtunity up North, but plenty here too.

They want Frontier as big as possible, with lots of forecast growth to rev up an IPO. If they diverted orders to an upstart, their hopes of a multi Billion dollar IPO would be down the toilet.

I understand they lack of faith in our growth, given the history of our industry, but think about it from a business point of view. They want to be big.

I agree with Aero. This new airline is being started from scratch, so profits are not 100% guarantee. At the moment F9 is a cash cow for them, why would they end that?

I sure hope you guys are correct. I just don't see them being able to handle it. We shall see though. Hopefully I'm eating crow in a couple of years.

Hey your name is Missed Appch, it's your schtick to assume worst case scenario.

HAH! I think a trained professional would call it a defense mechanism. Between the bankruptcy and the current management trying to screw us every chance they get, it's just best that I don't get my hopes up. Thankfully our pilot group is a great bunch of peeps.

Hello all-
Checking in to see what it takes to be a competitive applicant here at frontier. I am a regional FO with a 4 year degree, I live in Orlando and getting picked up by Frontier would be awesome for me!

Thanks for the help
