I've seen this movie before. Hope it goes well for them.

Where is this growth coming from? Are they pulling back in other markets in order to supply IAD?

What about growth and aircraft orders at F9? I recall how Bedford once suggested that F9 would get the C-Series aircraft to replace the older Airbuses - but now that F9 is no longer related to Republic, I assume a big NEO order was made at some point.

Bedford still has orders for a ********************load of C-series airplanes that he can't legally operate anywhere. He could sell them off to F9 to finance his glorious retirement package.

B6 is basically pulling out of there.

B6 is basically pulling out of there.

B6 lost interest in IAD once it launched DCA and the tide will continue in that direction DCA>IAD.

As you see Frontier morph into an Ultra-Low Cost carrier it will mimic Spirit. Spirit went right into IAH and ORD, right under United's nose. Frontier is doing the same thing but in IAD.
