Jim Young exits Frontier

Jim Young, the executive at Denver-based Frontier Airlines and the man behind the carrier's new AirFair's revamped fares structure, has left the airline about a year after he joined. His title was vice-president, distribution, sales and marketing.

This is a blow for Frontier as it beds the new structure down and tweaks it to help drive revenues at the carrier and help it exit Chapter 11 bankruptcy later this year (it hopes).

At least Young departs when the system is up and running. We don't have any news on where he is going - please tell us if you do - but Frontier says "the position will not be filled until sometime after we emerge from bankruptcy".

Here's a story describing AirFairs in more detail.
