They didn't announce the Airbus in those bases because when we merge we'll already have the busses there.

Frontier pilots are definitely a target audience of UALs announcement…

UAL keeps talking how they’re so eco friendly but they don’t have any neos and buy a bunch of beaters from F9 and spirit. So there could be some legitimacy to a merger / buy out.

You don’t think this will impact F9? Especially from the perspective of pilot retention?

No dog in the fight….but if you’re already at Frontier based in Orlando, what does United’s soon to be senior MCO base offer you besides having to wait behind X amount of pilots to hold it?

If you wanted to fly the 737 in a very senior MCO base, why wouldn’t you be trying to go to Southwest years ago? All of a sudden United opens a 737 base and you’re interested? What’s the difference?
