When you start taking away the things that Frontier had that other carriers didn't you lose the basic foundation of a loyal following, that being a consistent product across the fleet.
*I have never and never will fly Southwest Airlines. Hopefully they'll decide subsidizing losses at Denver isn't the most effective route and leave the market entirely.
Very glad to hear somebody say that! I also have a personal goal to never fly Southwest. So far, my record still stands....
I really don't like the fact that a traveler could purchase a Classic Plus fare, to find out that they are flying a Republic jet, so they loose out on the LiveTV and some of the other perks of flying Frontier. I do hope Bedford realizes what he is doing, and recognizes the fact that he will loose loyal Denverites who depend on Frontier.
