Southwest looks to buy Frontier



But, as when it bought ATA a couple years back, also out of bankruptcy, just to get its LaGuardia gates, it looks like Southwest is just looking at buying Frontier a href="http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/073109dnbussouthwest.90001c9a.html"to increase its Denver muscle/a. br /br /I predict it turns around and resells Frontier’s regional line, Lynx, possibly to Alaska Airlines, possibly to U.S. West.br /br /Since Frontier itself runs nary a one on 737s in its fleet, I can’t imagine what Southwest wants other than Denver gates, and probably some routes. (Unless maybe Southwest does a massive flip into an all-Airbus fleet!)div class="blogger-post-footer"There is no god and I am his prophet.img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7532871-6249264226506711813?l=socraticgadfly.blogspot.com'//div
