US carrier Frontier Airlines' parent Republic Airways Holdings has tentatively signed to take 40 Airbus A319neos and 40 A320neos.
All 80 aircraft would be fitted with the CFM International Leap powerplant.
The company becomes the first to commit publicly to the A319neo, which is seen as a competitor to the Bombardier CSeries.

Republic already has 40 CSeries aircraft on order.
Airbus disclosed the new agreement with Republic at the Paris air show. Frontier Airlines already operates 58 A318s, A319s and A320s.

The key word is a TENTATIVELY! With the losses they are posting and a public statement that Bedford wants to divest of his majority stake in Frontier, I don't know how he would put up the money to take delivery.

Today Rev. Bedford wrote 2 God Bless letters; 1 to Delta for giving him the money, and the other to the Frontier pilots for refusing to take it.

O how I miss the weekly sermons. Especially the 2 pager on abortion and pre marital sex that he sent out over Easter about 4 years back.

Good Times

Seriously? The only "growth" will be at RAH. F9 guys are screwed.

Negotiate concessions...buy new aircraft...get a bonus from the BOD. How's that working for you?

To get out from under being molested by the IBT??? WORTH IT!
