F9 new crew bases at MIA, and EWR

Frontier just announced yet again another crew base at EWR, just shortly after their announcement of MIA, 2 in 1 year! Where is Spirit at with their new base announcements? Thought this was all about competition?

Frontier is essentially going to turn into allegiant with tons of bases and doing mostly day trips out of each base. They alluded to this when I interviewed there last year.

Who gives a ****. Spirit is making the right moves. They can announce the new base if it ever happens whenever it happens.

Ewr is only an FA base, not pilot.

I was about to say the same thing. They still only fly 2-3 days a week to one destination out of my home airport. There seems to be quite a few cities with infrequent/Allegiant style service.
