Conference Call Notes
  • New E190s delayed due to Japan Tsunami
  • They have the ability to firm up the rest of the E190 orders but would prefer to be in a better cash position
  • E170s start leaving the fleet this week
  • MKE seems to be the big loser as before. I bet RJET is super happy they bought F9 otherwise Midwest might have gone under anyway
  • No firm plans for the remaining Q400s (5 owned)
  • I get the feeling they would prefer to rid themselves of all of the small E-Jets (below 190).
  • Will be implementing cost saving procedures to lower fuel burn (no further details)
  • 30% of people that book at FrontierAirlines.com choose Classic or Classic Plus

Overall the call wasn't as upbeat as usual but did not seem grim. The results, while not good, were better than last year and it is easy to point at the price of fuel as the main issue.
