What will happen to RAH's 170s with F9?
Just out of curiosity, and certainly wishing the best to the Frontier folks, but if they don't make it through, what will happen to the 170's that RAH has in that system? Will they trade paint and go into another system? Will they go back to the leasing party?
I figure you guys would be able to put them in service with Delta or United...thoughts?........

We'll have plenty of demand for those excess airframes when Mesa goes under. RAH cant' get them fast enough right now.
This credit card company issue is interesting. I hope it works out well for the great people at Frontier/Lynx and for that matter, Republic

RAH is air frame short. I don't know what the future holds but with UAL and Delta wanting more frames I can see them finding homes. However Chapter 11 is not the end for F9. I don't know where they can go from here but hopefully RAH keeps getting paid.
