A survey is being done by the company, with passengers and company employees to see what name will survive.

Considering there's more Frontier staff than Midwest staff what's the point of a survey? There's no way the Midwest name will win the survey.

From what I have read the survey is putting the Frontier name, image, product up against either using Republic, or a possible brand new name and image, I heard the name "New Air" mentioned.

I have a feeling B.B. is hoping for one of the latter and I believe and hope the survey will help him and his team realize how important the Frontier brand is to a lot of people. I also believe strongly that if they retire the Frontier name and image while the new airline would likely survive with a new route system but they would not only FAIL in the Denver market but also ailinate the entire area !

My 2 cents

New Air isnt original at all, anyone remember this?

April-1999
JetBlue (then known as "New Air") places a $4 billion order with Airbus Industrie for up 75 new A320 aircraft, and commences leasing arrangements for another eight aircraft

I'm with Ron on the sense of the Frontier name and service focus. Frontier is a good descrition of what is going on with that company to begin with. A new frontier so to speak. Plus, DEN is their home a hub. They have a HUGELY loyal following that has slowly in the domestic sector pushed United into a place of more so being the connection city rather than a point to point city it once was for them. Frontier and Southwest have really taken that market and spun it on it's head in that sense.
