Frontier Airlines has dropped Tulsa... Again.
Hacks me off... I liked them.

Can't say that I've ever used them... Sucks though to lose service.
I didn't realize they were still around, period. I thought they BK'd and liquidated several years back. Might have helped to advertise in the local market a little more other than billboards (if they were even doing that) near the airport where most people are headed AFTER they've bought a plane ticket.
I loved that airline. Travelocity gave me their tickets several times after I was searching for rock bottom fares. The staff was really nice compared to the big airlines.
Bummer, that was handy for Denver and back in a day.
Though we already have United and Southwest flying the TUL-Denver route it was nice having a third option. I'm still hoping for another West Coast link in the future, hopefully TUL-San Francisco on United, and a non-stop to New York. I know we have the TUL-Newark non-stop on Continental but it would be nice to have another option especially considering NW Arkansas has a non-stop to New York and we don't...

Personally, I'd rather have a connection than fly on a jungle jet for that distance. I don't mind them for anything up to about 500 miles. Beyond that, I'm not interested in the least.

Very true, I was thinking jetBlue's large body aircraft flights to JFK. That would be amazing if Tulsa could snag one of those routes.
