Yep, just like taxes in SJU. Along with per diem costs and other things that came with being gone for more than 6-9hrs at a time.

When it comes down to it, I would prefer this over going out of business, but there are bigger issues that cost more money than shifting to 90% day trips... We could have stopped at 50%. Pay the extra ramp crews and save more fuel.

Well there you go. 20 more upgrades and Denver growing by 20 as I surmised. Finally some good news for westerners.

So that finishes filling all the new bases and Denver gets the growth.

I am happy to see it. I think we will see a small influx of vacancies open in these new bases each month and eventually backfill into the other bases over the late summer/fall.

I am super glad that they have been growing DEN, which will hopefully relieve some base seniority issues on other west coast bases.

Heres an interesting article . Looks like we’re going back into SJC. Maybe a dual SFO/SJC base ?

Looking at our destinations served on Frontier.com Oakland and Fresno are also making the list again now though I don’t know when we intend to go there. SFO is the rumored next base I’ve been hearing along with another west coast base. We shall see.
