The print edition of the Business Journal states "Bedford will discuss the airline industry, and more important, Milwaukee's future."

FB post by Mark Kass of the Business Journal:

"Sign up for The Business Journal's Power Breakfast with Republic Airways CEO Bryan Bedford on 12/10 at Pfister Hotel. Send me any questions that you would like to have me ask Bedford."

The original cut-off date for reservations was Dec 3. Reservations are still being accepted.

With recent information out about Denver adjustments for summer, I wonder if perhaps Milwaukee-side changes will be announced on Friday.

Anchorage red-eye 3x/week, perhaps? Very well might not be, and it does burn a lot of aircraft time. But then again so do the Mexican seasonal flights which they have still added of late.

At least I'd guess there will be some seasonal resumptions to mention, and maybe a few more things. But it would make sense to annouce on Friday.

(I wonder if some changes might be out there already, but I'm on the road with limited net access so I might not shake anything out early.)

I did a quick check on frontierairlines.com this evening and noted that some of the West Coast non-stops are back next summer. As things appear today, LAX and SAN will operate 1x daily as day time flights. SFO and SEA are red-eyes (with SEA operating less than daily). Frequencies to many East Coast cities remain the same as they do today.

What I don't know is if this is the beginning of changes to the MKE flight schedule for summer 2011 or if Frontier simply rolled forward most of last year's West Coast schedule in order to start taking bookings.

Also impacting MKE somewhat are any changes AirTran/Southwest may make and whether the rumors of a reduced E135/E145/E170 fleet are true (replaced in part by larger aircraft).

It would be nice to see Frontier add some new and interesting destinations.

Preliminary report:

No groundbreaking news disclosed here. Perhaps there will be some actual news in the Dec 17th Business Journal.

Wendy Strong's interview with Bedford, where he addresses issues such as frequent flyer partnership and Business Class:

Another lovely flawed journalism piece. The reporter claims Frontier has never had a female spokesanimal, conveniently omitting Foxy the Fox.

Let's not forget Lucy the goose on a recently painted E190.

Lucy the Loon would have been better than goose. ;)
