I don't know what more we could do to facilitate the separation. We're trying our hardest to move on, we're pedaling as fast as we can. Certainly open to suggestions.

But who in their right mind would buy you guys... Still most of the money made was on the republic side... And in the same quarter where everyone else is reporting hundreds of millions profit..

I don't know. I was amazed that with 99 seat airplanes and above, the CASM ex-fuel target, that Management feels is achievable, is 6.5, but with ten 50 seaters it goes to 6.8 or 6.9. That's a big difference for 10 airplanes.

I believe what we're seeing is that if Frontier operates with only Airbii, we would be fairly profitable. If we add the "99" seaters in, we're still profitable, but less so.

As always in aviation - time will tell and the answers will be abundantly clear in retrospect.

Tomorrow's news and Thursday's webinar ought to be even more interesting than today's call.

It was a poor choice for an arranged marriage between the pilot groups. Hopefully it will be over soon, good luck to the F9 guys.

Yeah,

I think it could have worked. I'm not smart enough to figure out how, but it's too bad it ended up the way it has.

I have gained some RAH friends out of it and wish all of us well.

If you're RAH - please convey that sentiment to IBT.

In a weird way it seems that we're going to get what most merged pilot groups wish for: re-separation, or whatever you want to call it.

I think it could have worked, too. With robots.

I'll believe he's selling it when he actually sells it. If LOA 67 is over turned me thinks he pulls it back in. Just looking at what sky west and pinnacle put up regarding the future of FFD flying, the entire abomination of the last decade that is the size of the regionals is about to come crashing back to earth. I have thought all along that RAH was the lifeboat to get this started. We'll see what the end game is but i have a hard time seeing this as more than his "good faith effort" to comply with the LOA. Unless someone blows him away with something he'll hold onto it.
