Edit:
Forgot to put this. The article on jsonline.com has some interesting comments. Its about a 3 way tie. Some are happy to see it go. Some are ticked because they're losing the cookie (seriously, get over the bloody cookie!). And some could care less and will fly the cheapest carrier.
Take that back, there's a 4th one that is a group of people that are completely uninformed.
Do I think that its better that Republic bought Midwest? Yes. AirTran had some benefits, but the big benefit (that wasn't known at the time) is that we have now a western hub to go thru. AirTran would've either had to bulk up MCI or you'd be going thru ATL.
I'd still have rather seen an updated Frontier livery. Its decent, but kinda boring. They do have a lil lil duckie on the tai.
