Official:Frontier Airlines Selects Republic Airlines as Regional Partner to Operate N

[colorado14hi]

With Wexford Capital behind them RAH is a serious regional feed player. If memory serves me correctly, Wexford was one of the principal lenders that allowed Frontier to begin 13 years ago. Horizon served Frontier well. My bet is that RAH will eventually add more planes as Frontier makes efforts to broaden it route network.

when was the last time they lost a bid?

losing the FL DL flying would be my only guess

Wexford is probably going to focus F9 ops in longer routes/carribean/Mexico ops, while we will provide feed and do point to point short stuff. Wexford are very aggressive and have alot of cash available, F9 will do very well in the next few years - I would go there in a heartbeat!

I hope Frontier does well. I think it is a great airline and I would also work there in a heartbeat. I was talking to an F9 pilot the other day, and he said that they only put Mexican/caribbean/vacation destinations on the napkins now...no US stuff. My guess is that you are right TAWS.

Would you guys stop and think for a moment. I'm tired of hearing that the 170 is a bad choice due to 3% higher fuel burn. 3% isn't that much. Think of it this way:

Let's just say a flight in a CRJ700 uses 10,000 lbs of fuel on a given flight. That would mean a 170 would use 10,300 lbs. Convert that extra 300 lbs into gallons. It's about 50. I'm not sure what the going rate of fuel is, but for easy math, we will call it $2.00. So we are talking $100 in gas. That's it.

All you need is to get one extra passenger to buy a ticket for every two flights to break even. I think Frontier is betting on the 170 being so much more popular with pax due to the cabin size, overhead bins, and noise level that selling a few extra tickets to guys who previouly didn't want to ride on a CRJ shouldn't be a problem.

I think the passangers that buy tickets on F9, or most domestic airlines for that matter would go on a CRJ if it was $5 less.

The #2 tail is going to be a bit more aggressive. It's going to have an eskimo clubbing a baby seal. #3 is rumored to be Ahab harpooning a whale.

GOD, WE'RE SUCH WHORES

No, we are going to have pictures of road kill on our tails. You know, like a Ricky with his torso twisted in half and all the intestines dripping out of his gut and little feet reaching up to the sky saying "why me?".....nice rosey pic....
