I believe that Fontier was the one who was cast off by both DL and FL, and not the other way around. It looks like Frontier is not considered to be all that valuable a partner, even after negating the competition factor.
In the "good old days" of Midwest, there was always a very desirable FF partner, whether it was NWA (2x) or AA. Both carriers offered not only domestic, but international options, as well.
