I really do think that's key for them, as I suspect even the strongest airlines lose money for a lot of the winter on their non-sun routes.

Isn't that the truth? Speaking for myself, work and personal have kept me out of a lot of the discussions just because I don't have the time nor energy to fight the battles. And of course as an MKE guy I don't have the horse in the race I once did with Frontier. But there's definitely a satisfying feeling in seeing a solid profit calm some of the dust down. Of course it doesn't mean all is perfect, all decisions are good ones, and they face no issues. And that can of course be debated. But from the crowd who'd claim that (something as silly as) boarding fewer coffee stir sticks per flight was a clear sign that the integrity of the Denver hub was in jeopardy, this profit is largely undiscussed.
