That's what particularly irks me... I've been looking at one way SFO-DEN fares on Frontier, and they offer plenty of non-stops but also offer SFO-MKE-DEN, which do not have the Classic and Classic Plus fare available. Great, they shouldn't if the flights aren't operated by Frontier Airlines. However, trying to find a flight DEN-OMA and two of the flights are operated by Lynx, so no bones there as I'd rather not complain about Lynx, but the other four flights are operated by Republic on Ejets and still have Classic and Classic Plus available. Suppose I step onboard the plane having paid for the Classic fare and expect to be able to watch TV but it's not there, shouldn't Frontier have to refund the difference in price I paid for the fare?
It amazes me that so far nothing concrete has come out over the branding issues because that seems so paramount to the airline moving forward.
