Back in 2014 or so I heard that Frontier was going to take over 16 gates in the ATL D concourse that Southwest was giving up as Southwest reduced their flights in Atlanta as part of the Airtran merger. They were going to make Atlanta a sort of Eastern hub for Frontier but somehow Delta prevented that from happening. I don't know the details but it may have been related to the deal Southwest made with Delta to give Delta all the 717s.
