As Mariner posted in another thread, Frontier added aircraft #944 to its fleet this week. Frontier's advertising is asking employees to name the polar bear mother and her 1½-year-old cub on the tail. Sticky Grey (Frontier's advertising agency) will select the name and possibly use it to create characters for upcoming commercials and other advertising materials.
Frontier did not have to pick the names of these two cubs. Klondike and Snow were born in 1994 at the Denver zoo. They are my favorite, and are currently gracing the front of Frontier's ticket jackets.

Are they renaming Klondike & Snow?
Polar bears are also termed glacier bears. I choose "Glacier" & "Alaska" They are also native to Antarctica so "Antarctica" would be a third choice.

I could have elite status if I wanted it, but flying the same airline all the time is boring.

Don't mean to get nit-picky, but glacier bears are black bears with a bluish grey coat and live in southeast Alaska, northeast BC, and the southwest Yukon. This coloration developed during the last ice age when the glacier bear ancestors were isolated around the glaciers. The color is becoming more rare as the glacier bear population is becoming more spread out and is breeding with other, more dominant colors of black bears.
Can you tell I worked in an Alaska museum for three years?
Anyways, back to the topic, I always think polar bears should be named Bobo or Binky (Anchoragites should get that last name).

Quoting N600RR (Reply 9): I didn't think that there were ANY bears in Antarctica
I stand corrected. I did find something which stated PB do not live in the southern hemisphere. They are indigenous to the arctic. My bad. I seem to recall reading a Readers Digest or National Geographic article, several years ago which lead me to believe there was a PB problem near McMurdo Station Antarctica. I guess I got my critters mixed up. Scratch Anarctica.

This may be sensitive: It hurts me to watch them club baby seals. They are very innocent creatures. Can F9 have a baby seal on one of their tails and "protest" the slaughter of baby seals? Robert NWDC10
They aint no blak bears ! They white - so they gotta be Archie and Edith!

F9 has a unique tail for each aircraft in its fleet, including the CRJ-700s flown by QX as part of a codeshare. The original 732 and 733 aircraft had two animals per tail (one on each side) to help make the airline look a little bigger than it was. However, all these aircraft have since been retired from F9's fleet. The A-319 and A-318s all have the same animal on their tails and winglets.
27 HorizonGirl: I like that. I would say- "Ice Cub" (Like Ice Cube but for a bear.) and "Snow White" Devon
28 Jetmek319: You aren't the only one, Mariner. When I got the drawing and the JPEG, they both said "Adult Klondike and Snow". I thought they were Klondike and sno
29 Ilikeyyc: Name the mother "Piper" and her cub, "Cub" so you will have a Piper Cub airplane. But if you want to avoid trademark infringement lawsuits, I suggest
30 NZblue: I don't know why, but I think the Mom's name should be Alice. I haven't decided about her cub, yet...but I'm sure I'll think of something to submit on
31 F9Animal: That shark would be bad assed on an F9 tail. Park it next to UA's TED and WN!!! LOL!!!!! Seriously though, that would be one sweet tail to have!
32 Timboflier215: awesome! thanks so much Mariner!! wondered whether each of the f9s tails was unique. its such a brilliant idea - kudos to them!
33 Geotrash: How about Kaya and Chena Kaya means "stay and don't go back" and Chena is a river in Alaska Or... Siku and Sesi for ice and snow Or... Chena and Deshk
