    “Today’s appointments signal great things to come for this airline,” said
Potter.  “We conducted an exhaustive search to ensure that we hired the
perfect fit for our marketing and planning functions, and we found the ideal
candidate in John Happ, who brings over 20 years of aviation experience to
Frontier from some great airlines.  I am confident that John has the skills to
not only capitalize on our current momentum from a marketing perspective, but,
he also has the vision and acumen to leverage that momentum for Frontier’s
future success. Likewise, with the addition of Bill Schuyler to scheduling and
the well-deserved promotion of Anne McCollum who will expand her vital role in
our customer support program, I am confident that we have new leaders in place
to help us continue to build on our recent successes in new markets, while we
plan for future growth.”
