Twue...the B717 is more economical than the Wing, but Frontier wants to be a
one aircraft airline.  Plus their hot and high hub demands performance without
penalty that is more problematic for the B717 than the Flying Wing (A318).
Let's see how many Wings are actually delivered...my guess is some orders will
be swapped for the more logical A319.  Just wish they'd lose that MR MAGOO
livery!
