I wondered about that too...the WiFi on the Ejets will be done 12/31/10 but inflight entertainment won't be done until 11/01/11. That says something else is at least on the drawing board. WiFi on other aircraft....Airbus or RJ or both...seems like a good possibility.

I have not been on a plane with green seats yet so I'll reserve judgement for now, but the traditional YX brown leather goes better with Frontier's green and white than it ever did with Midwest blue and grey. But I don't run the world. :-) And...green is unique. Back in the old days of Midwest when they spend large amounts of time and energy evaluating things like salt shakers, they did extensive research on possibly changing seat color. The consensus was that the brown leather was a distinctive brand item identified Midwest and set them apart, even from other leather-seat planes. Green seats on Frontier are unique, and going all-green makes a distinctive impression in a world of gray and blue. Just so it's not a garish distinction. And whatever they do, standardization is a really good thing.

Yes, yes, yes. My employees and I have had a few rough experiences in places like Dayton and Indianapolis where Frontier people handle YX* flights and in some cases had to call back to Milwaukee for help on YX policy.
