The Frontier people would take Sean back in a heartbeat. When he left Republic, it was a very deflating thing for the Frontier group.
Menke did not mesh with Brian Bedford and a few other of his VP's - plus Menke had gone from de-facto running Frontier to being a VP underneath a guy who knew nothing about running a major airline.
Menke and his team at Frontier saved the airline when no one thought it could be saved. As someone who's met Sean, I'm very happy to see him back in the business - good man.

Anderson left Northwest in 2004. Within a year Northwest was in BK.
Maybe it is the lack of Anderson that causes bankruptcy, or maybe the guy just knows when to jump ship.
