Interesting comments on the Frontier board:

"Colorado's Gov. Bill Ritter and Denver's Mayor John Hickenlooper were both on hand for the announcement, which was made at Coors Field."

The local media did not report if anyone of importantce was there but maybe we might hear something later.

"Republic CEO Bryan Bedford says the Frontier brand is associated with low fares, and the Midwest name is not. Midwest was based in Milwaukee, which has become a hot spot of airline competition with both Southwest Airlines and AirTran."

Kind of surprising on the low fares comment. I wonder if they will expand on that at all.
