Which will be additional incentive for most of the left-behind 99%, earning fewer RDMs than before, to disengage and take a good look at Frontier.

It is a dazzlingly inept chapter in customer relationship management.
That's effectively $3,409 (or more if the 'paid' ticket is more than 6818) for each one way. That is about what a one way business TPAC goes for.
