Both those studies took place back when this place still had residual mojo from Neleman, before all the start up growth culture was wrung out of it in order to buy back stock at $25/share, start potato farms, and buy electric airplane companies.

I'm sorry you can't do proper research when I've told you where to look.
As for frequency, you, like most of your colleagues, think that if Delta is doing 6 a day that you should be. The ULCC market on most routes, other than to Mickey Mouse or Lost wages, doesn't support that frequency. You and the other ULCC have been cannibalizing each other's customers on the limited routes that support daily ULCC service, and that is why you are seeking to merge together.

As I suspected, you couldn't procure the DATA. Don't worry you won't be able to find it because it's all smoke and mirrors. As for our routes, we can certainly use more frequency as most of our flight are booked full. No need to cannibalize when we can just syphon customers from high cost carriers, like taking candy from a baby.
As for taking candy from a baby, you can't even take market share from United and Southwest I'm Denver, can't even afford to pay for jetways I'm Denver and still make margins. Go wax poetic about your fantasies to someone dumb enough to believe them.

I can do the work for you, I simply choose not to.

LOL. You don't think everyone can see through your primitive attempt to cover up the fact that you're mistaken? I work for NK not F9 so I have no idea what you're talking about in DEN. But before you go throwing stones tell me again about your stellar performance in ATL, MIA, BNA, STL, ORD, MSY, EWR and IAH.
Stay thirsty my friend

"I'm not sure if you are a real live pilot, but proficiency with the English language is a requirement when you do go for your pilots license in the future. Might want to take some courses."

This is EXACTLY why I won't do your homework for you. The more you type the more you reveal.

So, you want to work for Frontier, and think you know the business model so well, yet you don't know that Frontier is moving their Denver operation to a different location that doesn't have jetways? They are gonna make their customers walk the tarmac, year around, in Denver, because they can't make margins while paying for jetways, and you didn't know that? Didn't know that Frontier can't even take market share from high fare United and Southwest in Denver?

B6/NK wouldn’t be good for either airline, like trying to put a square peg in a round hole.
Tell me again about “JetBlue Effect”. I’ll change my avatar to a picture of a clown if you can do it.
but you won’t cause posting a link is backbreaking work.

I know what F9 is and I still prefer them to B6. Not that your product is bad, just not my idea of a sound business model in the current environment.

Stop with the sanctimony and just admit you don't want B6 because of how your personal situation most likely plays out in it.
