[emphasis mine]
The implication is that shifting the DAY flights to CVG avoids the repo move. So again, given the DEN-CVG schedule, how does Frontier avoid the repo move?
The answer, so far, seems to be that they don't avoid a repo move. So all I'm saying is that avoiding a repo move is not a reason for the shift. I'm not knocking their decision, though.
With the schedule as it is now there is no repo move, being that they're not flying an empty plane form DAY-CVG simply for the fact of getting it there. Flying scheduled passenger service from DEN-CVG, potentially makes more money than say flying DEN-DAY-CVG, the last leg being an empty plane. Taking off burns a lot of fuel!
All the flights that I list out in the schedule tree are scheduled passenger service that you can find using the online schedules page. They're bookable flights.
