It is cheaper for BB to go on this silly show then it is for him to advertise like other airlines have been in Denver. It is crazy to see how much advertising has been going on, and Frontier hasn't ramped their adverts up at all.

BB ran a Town Hall Meeting in MKE yesterday. When asked he said the show would air towards the end of October. Filming locations were DEN (No Surprise), PHX, OKC, SAN. His positions were Lav maintenance, Ramp, Ticketing. Had roughly 150 people at the reveal, not sure when or where (DEN?) Should be interesting

BB is just going on the show to see how to run the company more like Mesa and take figure out a way to cut more employees to line his pockets.

According to an internal memo, employees were going to be returned to full pay in September 2008. Of course, such cuts weren't evenly applied across the company: While trimming tens of millions out of labor costs, Bedford received a yearly bonus that jumped from $619,535 in 2007 to $620,000 in 2008. This was in addition to stock options, salary, and other benefits. Meanwhile, pay for crew schedulers airline is $11 per hour, while customer service reps pull in $26,000 per year.

According to Forbes, Bedford didn't receive a bonus in 2009, which meant that his total compensation package totaled $1,354,067. In other words, even with a 31% pay cut, he still made more than 52 times as much as the people who sell tickets for his airline, and his hourly wage was almost ten times that of the people who fly the planes.

Your math and or logic are a little off... There's nothing "almost" about it! Your pilot group is nowhere near average pay of $135,500.00. Bedford made much more than 10 times(average pilot pay), my guess would be more like 25 to 30 times your pilot group average!
