So who is left? Southwest? Allegiant? One of the small Regional or Commuter carriers like Silver or PennAir? If they think Frontier couldn't make TTN work in the long-term, why would they move in?
It seems a lot of what has happened in the Northeast (ILG and IAD; plus, it seems, TTN) hasn't met the current owners' expectations.
Delta and American serves SWF which has a similar catchment Delta to Detroit and AA to PHL.

From what I've read on boards like A.net frontier is returning some of its A319s to their leasing company and the A320 neos are delayed. Also the A321s are not coming in at a fast enough pace.
This is supported by the fact that F9 is doing the same cuts in Philly. unless of course you claim they are pulling out of there too.
