I have to believe that spirit has something to do with this sale of frontier. Maybe not directly but maybe the indigo holding company that used to privately own spirit will be involved. Spirit has always had a slow by steady growth scheme of 7-10 planes a year. Try a city, if it works keep it if not get rid of it. They have tried to beef up the west coast stuff through vegas and they are expanding quite well in dfw. The acquisition of frontier would give them Denver, but it would also give them a lot of airbus aircraft today instead of 7 per year. And pilots to fly them. Frontier has already switched towards spirits way of doing things as well. I could see them buying frontier, shrinking den to profitable routes only, and relocating the rest of the airbus aircraft to help them expand into South America, while keeping their growth strategy in the states with their new aircraft orders.
