Frontier Airlines to charge some customers for carry-ons, drinks

It also seemed to me to be a pretty large departure from the previous business model. It seems to be working for Spirit so who knows.

True. It seems as if "the hand of god" has caused departure from te way A LOT of things used to be done.

Maybe getting bought by SWA would have been a good move for Frontier after all?

How so?

Yeah, I wouldn't want to merge with a company that's roughly 13% of the size of SWA but makes almost just as much money. Has no debt and over 400 million in cash, and will triple in size in the next 8 years.

Did you notice a very young Andy Dick in the commercial at the 6 second mark? LOL!

Such a great outfit that no one wants it...

 

[Captain Morgan]

Wrong, there are ppl who want it but RAH and the people who want it are coming to terms on the agreement, if and when that ever happens.

 

[Tanker Clown]

OK. Good for you. Might still want to keep up a log book just in case.

Just setting the facts straight. Thanks for the tip though.

Just saying, if you had me bet on Frontier tripling in size or circling the drain.....the easy money is probably on the drain. Hope you are right, but you may have your head buried deep in the sand.

BTW, if Frontier were such a cash cow and have such phenomenal growth potential, why is Bedford working so hard to unload it (unsuccessfully)?
