In a "surprising-but-not-really-surprising" move, Frontier has immediately replaced Barry Biffle, it's long-time CEO. There are also new reports that the merger talks with Spirit have resumed. Perhaps these 2 matters are related. As already noted in this thread, Frontier isn't a well run company and doesn't currently have a viable business model, so change is obviously needed. There isn't a lot of media/Wall Street coverage of this airline, so it's hard to get much insight into what's likely to happen next year, but I think it's safe to assume that significant changes will be forthcoming.
