Re: Denver Aviation Thread - 2021

F9 will be able to fit a320s and a321s in gates A71-A81? Looking at satellite maps…seems regional jets are there now and it looks tight (both length and width). Some can fit E75’s which have a 95 ft wingspan. The A321 has 112. So there will certainly be re-striping which will result in the eliminat...

would love to see some more detailed statistics behind these spikes.

Re: Frontier Announces ANC/DRO/GJT/FCA

Are any of these intra-Colorado routes ones that Horizon Air used to fly for Frontier Air? Durango and Grand Junction were once served by Lynx Aviation, I don’t believe Horizon ever flew to these cities under the F9 brand. Kalispell is brand new for F9 altogether. Durango was also temporarily serve...

Sounds like low income individuals will suffer more from these potential changes, shocker.

Re: Frontier Airlines Network Thread - 2021

8 more routes, 3 new destinations (NAS, SXM, SJO). Costa Rica was previously served. https://news.flyfrontier.com/frontier-airlines-announces-8-new-routes-adds-3-summer-destinations/ ST MAARTIN?!?! That’s a fantastic add. So happy to see them return to Costa Rica. Hopefully denver to San Jose retur...

Re: Denver Aviation Thread - 2021

I have 60,000 miles and a 50% off companion pass for Hawaiian airlines. Living in Denver...a Hawaiian announcement would be amazing.

Re: Frontier and their on-order A321XLR

I've flown Frontier and Allegiant on short flights. They're bearable for the price. US transcons can be 5-6 hours, and Hawaii flights being discussed here could be longer. The thought of spending that amount of time on a Frontier plane would have me looking elsewhere. It reminds me of a few years a...

Re: Frontier and their on-order A321XLR

You wouldn't buy that plane not to use the range. They would have ordered normal 321s. Denver east coast is easily within range of a normal 321 even at frontiers density. Denver has very long runways. They have to have something in mind with the range. Frontier is nowhere near as DEN-centric as the...

Re: Frontier and their on-order A321XLR

They will most likely be using them for transcon flights. They currently can’t fly their a321s from coast to coast due to weight issues. The XLRs will allow them to fly at max capacity from east to west. I could see them doing some deeper flights into South America, maybe test Hawaii? But I think ov...

Re: Frontier Airlines Network Thread - 2021

Rochester NY, getting service to Orlando on F9. Looks like MIA-MBJ is pending govt. approval!

Re: Lady Gaga in Boston - Concert

I have Gaga tickets for Chicago in August. Still haven’t rebooked my flight or hotel after this past summers show was canceled. It’s quickly approaching with no info. Very frustrating.

Re: United Airlines .. 2,500 new pilot slots reserved for women or people of color

saying “they should only bring in the best candidate” is a low key negative implication that a company lowers hiring and qualification standards to bring in women or minorities, which I hope is never the case. Good for United for trying to diversify their pilot workgroup with qualified candidates. ...

Re: United Airlines .. 2,500 new pilot slots reserved for women or people of color

UA would be the first to publicly announce such a policy. Pros is that it fosters a more inclusive workforce. Cons is that it creates an environment where the best candidate may not be hired due to gender or race.

Delta A350 at COS

Anyone know why there is an A350 that flew from LAX-COS this morning? DL8965.

If they go ipo, anyone think this might set them up for a potential future merger? I have long wondered why NK and F9 haven’t tied up.

Re: Frontier Airlines Network Thread - 2020

I’ve heard from insiders at F9 that things are going relatively well - given the circumstances, of course.

Congrats on these new adds! Short hops, cross country and international adds! Nice mix.

Re: Denver Aviation Thread - 2020

Can’t believe UA is taking F9s amazing gates. Walking over that bridge and seeing all the animal tails has always been a signature sight at DEN. Gonna be a lot of plain white UA planes that aren’t particularly attractive to the eye.

Re: Severe Midwest weather

ORD expected to be closed until 5oclock central time. Controllers still in basement and an entire runway inspection will happen once the storm clears.

Weird Flight Plan? FDX 1311

Re: Denver Aviation Thread - 2020

I didn’t relialize they were adding a new return to terminal loop. I assume the old one is being removed? Wonder what the purpose was for moving it!

Thanks for the update.

Re: VERY Recent EWR Photo On Google Earth Shows Just 2 Planes At The Gates

What do they remove aircraft? Is it a security thing? Looks awkward...I don’t like it.

Re: How is Frontier and Spirit doing?

I believe F9 is one of if not the most cash profitable airlines of all the US Airlines. I am no expert but I think F9 will survive this and might actually recoup pax faster than other airlines will.

Re: Pictures of grounded fleets

I can’t even bare to look at them. How did we get here? We need to get these airlines back up and running ASAP.
