edpaffjr.comCould my next flight on my beloved Frontier Airlines be the last? The bankrupt company now has two purchasing bids, one form Republic Airways and the other from Southwest Airlines. Republic Airways bid came first a month ago or so and wasn’t nearly as publicized as this recent Southwest bid. Southwest’s is non-binding, but a binding bid is expected to be submitted by the due date this coming Monday. At that time, Frontier will then go up for auction and the results could go either way.
Common opinion is that Republic would keep Frontier running just as it currently does. On the other side, Southwest would likely absorb all of Frontier over the next couple of years. All of their wonderful Airbus jets would disappear, which is one thing that I would definitely miss. Not to mention all of the Denver based employees that could lose their jobs. It would be a sad day for all of Denver, and I definitely do not want to see it go. I’m not the biggest fan of Southwest’s policies, and I definitely prefer to fly Frontier whenever I can. So I’m hoping for that Republic somehow comes out on top.
