How? by not using the APU ?

Don't be obtuse. We know we're talking about CASM, the standard measure for cost in our industry.

How do we operate at half the cost of the majors?

Per seat, ex- fuel.

I'm pretty sure you know that.

Our cost advantage is real, not sure what you are getting at?

How can you "break away" from ULCC customer service when you don't have any gates in DEN ? To be fair I guess F9s presence in DEN is a shell of its former self.

Premium and Frontier doesn't go together - Low Cost vacation travel and International to the South does.

It will be interesting if you guys can pull it off.

This management team keeps throwing darts. I wonder if they will ever throw a dart towards, "Treat your employees with respect, and give them the tools to provide a great product."

Not that I agree with the ground gate stuff but they are actually going to have more total gates when it's done.

Until F9 insources their gate agents etc there can't even be an honest conversation on customer service IMO

I am sure the contract gate agents will receive the appropriate training in regards to the now myriad of ticket options and fees the passengers will be dealing with.

Spirit just announced the same exact thing last night in a company email!!!

hasn’t been announced to the media yet so I don’t have a new article to share, just a company email. And they said the BIG change hasn’t been announced yet.
