Why I won’t stay with Frontier if Southwest absorbs them

I think that everyone needs to be really nervous about Southwest acquiring Frontier Airlines.
Once the airport moved from Stapleton to Denver International Airport, DIA was one of the most expensive airports in the country to fly in or out of. There was one reason for this. No competition.

Fly Frontier Airlines Please!

Please fly Frontier Airlines.
This airline provides great service, to great locations, and it is a pleasant airline to fly.  I enjoy them over any other airline that flies in-and-out of Denver.

I will do whatever I can to fly them. For example, I had a conference in Maryland and instead of flying into BWI, I fly into Washington National.  I just did not want to fly United.

For those of you who don’t know, Frontier recently declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  Their credit card processor wanted to keep a larger percentage of money from credit card purchases that people used for advance reservations.

This would have significantly reduced their liquidity to operate in the coming months.  So to protect that liquidity, they declared Chapter 11 to reorganize.

As mentioned earlier, I fly Frontier Airlines a lot.  There is a lot of competition in Denver from United and Southwest.  But those airlines’ service does not add up to the friendly service I get at Frontier Airlines.  It is quite an experience and having TV on flights is a plus.

Fly Frontier Airlines and help out this hometown, homegrown, and pleasant airline.
