Southwest looks to buy Frontier

But, as when it bought ATA a couple years back, also out of bankruptcy, just to get its LaGuardia gates, it looks like Southwest is just looking at buying Frontier to increase its Denver muscle.

I predict it turns around and resells Frontier’s regional line, Lynx, possibly to Alaska Airlines, possibly to U.S. West.

Since Frontier itself runs nary a one on 737s in its fleet, I can’t imagine what Southwest wants other than Denver gates, and probably some routes. (Unless maybe Southwest does a massive flip into an all-Airbus fleet!)
