Will these be handled by F9 staff since they're operating for F9 or will they be handled by YX staff since they'll be painted in YX colors?

No, I know that. But at least in Apollo, DL has taken ATL-SVO out until June 11.
I just meant to support you by saying the wind is blowing that way. e.g. Moscow is doing poorly across the board.

I'm not sure why they would be in YX colors? I would hope they'd have animals on the tails. If they are long-term at F9 then they should reflect the paint of the airline they are operating for. If they aren't going to do that then I question why bother having two brands in the first place.
F9 (or their contractors) staff will handle them, but the crew will be Republic.

The E190's will be handled by YX staff and crewed by YX crews. The Airbuses will be handed by us (F9) and crewed by us. The liveries will not change.

Very interesting schedule. I wonder what's going to happen to Frontier's MDW flights. Stay A319 or switch to the E190?
I couldn't agree more. Seems like the Forrest-Gump-box-of-chocolates branding strategy: "You never know what you're gonna get."

This is not an insignificant cut in F9's capacity at DEN -- 19 daily departures represents close to 15% of their mainline flights. With the E190's offering 15-25% fewer seats than the A318s & A319s they are presumably replacing, this looks like a reduction in ASMs of around 3%.

Really? Even though these OMA-DEN flights are only available for purchase on F9's website? In November, OMA-DEN goes to 3X 190 and 2X Q400. So will the mainline F9 staff here in OMA only have 2 flights a day to work? It doesn't seem sensible for these F9 pax to check in with YX when F9's counter is right next door. Could be confusing.

At some point in the not too distant future, it will become one - Frontier/Midwest. That's already happened at IND and DAY and maybe some others - I don't have the latest list yet.
Similarly, Frontier now uses the D concourse at MKE - or will, within days.

Yeah that's really no big deal. The big problem on the passenger side comes down to TV and cookies; it's a little simplistic but it illustrates the point. Both carriers have cultivated strong brands that include one or the other, and to have passengers buy a ticket expecting a certain experience and not getting it is bad for business. That said it's probably a pretty simple fix--cookie ovens on F9 and TVs on the E-jets, for example.

The Midwest pax - and Frontier pax - on the Midwest flights ex-MKE get both - the tv and the cookies.
As to tv on the E190's, I believe there are some issues of timing, even if they plan to do it, but this situation has happened before, when Republic were flying E170's for Frontier.

Two ovens in the fwd galley on all Airbus aircraft, a given. LiveTV on the E190's will be a bit costly to do....

You mean on the Airbuses (Crewed by F9 as I said earlier...), they will get both the cookies and the LiveTV.
