At the time I was hiding behind a curtain working with some other people on the communication part of the event. ie all the emails and frontiermidwest.com. Then I heard Bryan say the new brand name in a non-shaulent way, probably catching most people off guard and then the claps came, it was somewhat the same for the employee get together before. After the presentation when most people were gone and Bryan was done with the media he even mentioned the moment to us saying that he was thinking, "come on people give me some help here." Seemed that Bryan was a little bit nervous of the moment too.
Channel 58 did show the reaction by employees... there was dead silence at first. People were looking at each other, then they applauded. Interviews with employees afterwards were generally upbeat. The decision was made so move on and help build up the brand in MKE. I like Frontier so it won't be that hard for me to transition.
