My bad, I misread the article. (For no apparent reason the third paragraph is about Southwest, which would gain entry to DCA if their bid for Frontier goes through.)

Okay. I see. So would Southwest and Frontier merge?

Your question has nothing to do with the topic? What does Southwest taking over Frontier have to do with AirTran pulling out of EWR?
