DLD 432: You want fries with that

The image shows a Frontier Airlines airplane parked at an airport gate. The aircraft has the word "FRONTIER" written in large green letters on its fuselage. The tail of the plane features a large image of a squirrel, and the name "Sammy the Squirrel" is written near the front of the plane. There is another Frontier Airlines plane in the background with a different animal image on its tail. Various ground service vehicles and equipment are positioned around the planes. The sky is overcast, and the airport terminal building is visible in the background.

It was supposed to be a quick weekend getaway for the crew. That didn’t work out so well. Also in this episode: Virgin Atlantic joins SkyTeam Eurostar’s Brexit capacity cuts Cleveland gets its European nonstop…
