Spirit and Frontier Airlines plan to merge

Will they have the b*lls to call the unified entity, "Frontier Spirit"?

Not very woke, but I think a great business plan.

Spirit will contaminate Frontier, IMO.

My wife and I have really enjoyed Frontier. The seats are comfortable and the price is reasonable.

I flew Frontier once. It was fine. You get what you pay for and the fare was quite reasonable.

Spirit charges outrageous fees for carry on bags. It’s not really low cost.

I use Frontier frequently for cheap flights to Florida and out west. Yeah, you’re packed like sardines in a can, but that’s typical of every airline out there.

I’ve probably flown Frontier 30+ times in the last 10 years and have no complaints.
