Do you think that anyone has tried to reached Tim Hoeksema for comment?

I may have missed this issue being addressed, so I apologize if it was previously discussed.
With the integration of Midwest and Frontier, how will flights price out?
Midwest now prices the lowest available fare, which includes advance seat assignment; Frontier offers three purchase options, with their lowest fare (Economy) matching YX in cost, but not providing advance seat assignment.

I suspect this may still be one of the unknowns. Stay tuned.

I'll never forget the old YX DC9, the NWA E Concourse in MKE, and the NWA DC10 serving MKE-MSP
Great memories, but a sad year for this aviation enthusiast, now in Dallas. Maybe I'll adopt WN...

Considering a lot of people expect the cookies to go away within a couple years, I doubt they'd want to give it a name that makes people think "hey, why did they take away the cookies?"

It is just me, or has the "welcome the badger" commercial been modified a bit to make it less apparently that it wasn't shot in Milwaukee?
http://www.frontiermidwest.com/weare1/funstuff/
When this commercial first came out, there were a couple of comments here and elsewhere (admittedly by detail-oriented geeks like me) that in spite of saying that they were in Milwaukee, it was pretty clearly in Denver. I see to recall that in one shot in the background was a solid glimps of the distinctive DEN terminal canopy roof. No such view in the link above.
The ops tower shown behind Larry the Lynx is not one in Milwaukee, and the plains behind the row of Frontier planes is also not MKE, but these shots are generic enough that most people wouldn't recognize they aren't MKE.
Anybody else remember a the background looking clearly more non-MKE?

Anyone else see the new GE commercial? Shows a YX E jet in the hanger at MKE (subdtle, but clearly MKE if you're from there), and then later shows a YX connect Embraer with full titles showing...of course I saw this for the first time AFTER they announced they were going with F9. Kind of funny that YX is the only airline in the commercial...I'll try to find a link for it.

I'll agree...
