Through the kindness of someone on this board, I was able to see the full text of the story. Not much new, but here are key points:

F9 MKE capacity in early 2012 will be about half that of early 2011. DEN will be down about 1% and MCI up about 13%

Denver share of Frontier ASM's will be about 80%, MCI about 9% and MKE about 8%. MKE will have more flights than MCI (37 vs 20) but MKE's tend to be shorter / more frequent than MCI.

Q3 in Denver was "healthily profitable". Shurz said that while DEN performace wasn't "good enough" it is very significantly better than anywhere else.

Everything else was stuff we already knew...general statements about sub-99 seat aircaft losing money, Frontier's purchase by Republic out of BK court, Frontier having top MKE market share in September, focus on making Denver a bigger part of F9, etc.
