Republic Plans Unified Brand - Drop Midwest Name

[crj567]

In one swoop the CEO of Republic destroyed the Midwest and Republic name by opening up his big mouth. Your only chance is with Frontier. Atleast he has not pissed off the public in Denver.

YET-

Just give this jerkwad time. Bedford really seems to be doing a truly amazing job of showing complete incompetence-even among airline mgmt. baboons.

Oh really? Ask the people who thought they were purchasing a ticket on a Frontier Airbus and end up on a Midwest E-jet? Check out the reader comments on Denver news media websites.

It's true - BB hasn't yet engaged in the same degree of PR retardation he did in MKE, but eroding support of the Frontier brand is starting to show. People don't like playing musical chairs on aircraft when they were accustomed to seatback TVs, comfy leather seats, and friendly crews. The plight of the displaced and laid-off DEN mechanics and support folks has not gone unnoticed in the local media, either.

Still, there's a contingent of F9 customers who will ignore the differences as long as the friggin' animals are still on the tail.

The YX certificate is gone and has been for quite awhile.

Is the plan to replace the airbus with the new RJ's??? The timing sorta looks like that could be the case.

The YX code is now assigned to Republic Airlines Inc.
