Welcome, I'm a bit of an occasional poster myself. My brother and Sister in law lives in the CUN area and often fly Southwest down due to baggage allowance working out cheaper due to gifts and gringo goods for him. and fly F9 back as the schedule on the return makes it better for me. Waiting for this to be opened up.

But you'd think any properly managed airline would know for certain what their fleet would look like in 5 months?! Maybe not.

Very strange. It's almost harking back to a couple years ago when they were in the midst of their ULCC transition. Either something else is in the works, or it just has to do with fleet capacity. They are really constrained right now and not getting new planes fast enough to replace the old ones they are returning.

I'm thinking it's them wanting to be a little OCD on numbers, or may want to reduce admin hassle of cancelling a route that has potentially 9-11 months worth of reservations.

Given the number people who would necessarily be required to be informed of any impending transaction it seems unlikely the news would not get out. I also think that any merger is premature. Frontier's management will add add a lot of value if they complete the current expansion and demonstrate the sucess of their business plan. They would also (probably get more from an IPO than a merger.
