We haven't looked at how Frontier is doing lately. You know what? They're making money. Go figure. Republic may have picked itself up a nice little asset for a song. Frontier made $5.6 million in May net of special items. With those special items included, it would have made $1.1 million.

That was until the DOJ got involved. The Department of Justice isn't happy, and they have serious concerns about whether this plan should be allowed to proceed.
