How long before Frontier pulls the plug on its partnership with AirTran?
When will AirTran drop its 1x daily MKE-DEN flight (which was converted to year round service)?
In any event, this is good news (but not surprising) ^
If/when the FL/F9 partnership goes away, AirTran will have to decide between:
A) Abandon the market and pull the single MKE-DEN trip
B) Add service since F9 won't be providing the service for FL frequent flyers
Perhaps AirTran saw the writing on the wall, and that's why they added their flight earlier this year, to at least try to establish the service before the partnership goes away.
Who knows
