Really, I don't think TTN is a failed experiment, but I think F9 is slowly leaning favor to PHL, as seen with TPA service. But F9 at PHL might just be a spoke and nothing significant either.

The biggest failed experiment within the last 2 years is IAD.

Frontier's owners are looking to IPO, over merger. Several of the decisions lately are to make the airline operate more profitably.

I believe we will see more MCO routes and likely summer seasonal increases at ORD. It seems to be still a big player in DEN, and LAS. It still has a hub in DEN, which might be attractive for another carrier in case F9 decides to merge with another carrier that is not an ULCC. Perhaps post IPO, it merges with JetBlue. Or it stays as an ULCC.

TTN's heyday likely passed. It will be interesting how F9 services it next year.
