Business as usual for F9. I'll avoid a "camporee" itin if there's any way possible, but I had an 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. one in MCO recently because I needed a positioning flight for an Asia trip on only 6 days' notice. Budget Asia itins for me usually involve having some cross to bear somewhere to make the whole thing work, especially since ATL and the whole southeast don't get the kind of Asia fares that NYC, ORD, SFO and LAX do.
Next thing you know MCO, DEN, LAS or some other airport will start charging Frontier for all the overnight-staying passengers they get thanks to the website allowing bookings of camp-oree itineraries.
I was curious about mileage earning with this one as well. IMO if they're still going to charge their junk fees like the CIC, you SHOULD earn EQM and RDM miles (doesn't mean you will, but should). A retired pilot friend who flies nonrev standby a lot of the time describes a wait and see routine similar to what they'd have people do here.
