yeah, frontier has been great ever since restructuring in the early 90's. my grandpa rode that ship all the way down and helped bring it back as DIA was in the works. they were the king low-cost carrier in denver until southwest came in. having stuff like expressjet, spirit air, and ted really is great because they fly to literally thousands of places that their parent companies (continental, southwest, american?) couldn't manage on their own. i really don't want to see frontier go down the crapper again, so i hope they can put up a good fight against southwest. true. i guess people don't learn from the mistakes of others. 10 hours would be absolutely unbearable. i was stuck in houston when hurricane rita was passing through. we were in the airport for 7 hours and waiting to takeoff for 3. Actually ExpressJet and Spirit are completely independent airlines. ExpressJet has been contracted by Continental up until now, but they (ExpressJet) are operating independent flights from a bunch of smaller markets around the country. They have surplus regional jets. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

I doubt many other airlines will follow the Bill of Rights per se but you can bet that they won;t be leaving people on tarmacs any time soon.
Also the legacy carriers are still struggling Hartmann. Granted they are better off then a couple of years ago but some of the main ones are still trying to come out of bankruptcy |
