Below is US's international presence, not that much, but remember that BB stated that he would like to fly to the Caribbean which US already does pretty well. One possible reason to go with US. Also they have some European flight, but no Asia (routes going west were to Hawaii). If Frontier and US were to hook up, it could really help US fill some of their international flights and possibly add some more. The hookup could also help Frontier and US shore up PHL, DCA, LGA and PHX from MKE and DEN.
