Correct. Frontier had plans to build a new maintenance facility in COS, but those plans were scrapped during bankruptcy. Those jobs were moving from DEN regardless.

Republic now owns a state-of-the-art, barely used maintenance facility in MKE.

Does it make more sense financially/operationally to perform this type of work in MKE or IND (where Republic also has a maintenance base)?
