As a customer, I would be very sad to see the Frontier brand go away. They have been a great company and I have really enjoyed flying with them. And I love the Airbus, too. I still remember getting off a 757 from Hawaii in Phoenix and hopping onto an Airbus 319...I felt like I had gone from a sardine can into the lap of luxury...I could actually stretch my legs out! And the comfortable leather seats for all passengers...I would miss that. I would also miss having a Colorado airline.
All that I have heard about SW has been positive (this thread excepted) so I doubt we would lose much in convenience or routes, but I'm sure lots of loyal Frontier employees at all levels would find themselves looking for jobs, and I would be very sorry about that.
In the end, I do hope that Mr. Mathison is correct, and that this acquisition is not a foregone conclusion,but time will tell.
