I thought Frontier had some small townie jets.

they've been phasing them out and this guy seems to think it'll be a 120 seater.  just checked, they actually only have one ERJ-145 50 seater left and it flys Milwaukee to Rhinelander (wherever the eff that is).

not doubting you. they serve over 80 cities with many of those as multiple departures daily, but just have 73 planes. doesn't add up.

also seems strange to have 73 planes and 80 on order.

yeah, but every jet will make roughly 4 flights a day.  United is the largest airline in the world and services 380 destinations with 700 planes...a lot of which are making only one trans atlantic or trans pacific route a day.  Frontier has a very small route map.  they barely leave the country.

I think they've been trying to standardize their fleet since buying Midwest Air.

good frontier blog from yesterday

Don't care which carrier, just want DEN-MHK dailies. So this is a go, or not?

[SkinnyBenny]

How much, if at all, do we think a second airline coming in with dailies or near-dailies to Denver would lower AA's ORD/DFW flight prices into/out of MHK? I mean obviously they wouldn't be competing for the same cities, but AA would no longer have a monopoly. Do we think this would change anything?

Just a hypo questch for insiders/economists on this here goEMAW bbs.

[steve dave]

Won't change anything

[SkinnyBenny]

I was just asking for the visiting team's fans. Obviously any can already afford it.

[eastcat]

Bad news, Southwest announced they will be continuing airtrans former service to ICT.

Will be another strong draw on the market.

I have 80000 US air miles does this merger possibly turn those into AA miles?

I would expect it would at some point, but expect that point to be 2 years down the line

GPC poster saying that DC service is on the way to MHK.

[yoga-like_abana]

hmmm

[steve dave]

lol

[bones129]

MHK to DC? Would take, but don't see it happening.

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

NBAF.  Flights already subsidized, why not DC?
