I think that you ought to seriously consider keeping Lynx and growing it in your network. It has one aircraft type which happens to be much greener, fuel efficient, and cost efficient than the regional jets. Nashville's Concourse D or the B end gates that were previously used for American Eagle turboprops could accomodate them and allow you to further right size and maybe even expand into some markets from here that you couldn't formerly serve. BWI also has many open regional gates on their Pier D extension from US Airways that AirTran can't use which would allow for some additional East Coast expansion as well. There are also some intrastate markets in FL and CA and some smaller TX markets that could benefit from these as well. The opportunities are endless. Hope you keep them around. Maybe they could retain a special animal livery to please the Frontier folks.
