Why should this livery be added?
Inherited from the merge with Midwest, these 13 E190s served in Frontiers fleet from 201 until the last left the fleet in 2016. Would be nice to see one or two of the above as options for Frontier in-game as they visited SAN, the East Coast such as LGA and DCA and also the likes of TPA so MSY isn’t too much of a stretch to see them at.

I remember flying on one of these DEN-SBA I could’ve sworn it was operated by republic

They may have been. Not sure but they definitely all came from Midwest though they might have had Republic operate them for them.

So having done some digging during my E145 post, it appears that Republic took over both Midwest and Frontier in the late 2000s, then deciding to merge the 2 under the Frontier brand in the early 2010s. These were Midwest aircraft transferred to Frontier but operated by Republic as you say, like the E145’s were operated by Chautauqua Airlines a Republic subsidiary. Republic sold off Frontier in the mid 2010s but kept the Embraer fleet they originally took from Midwest.
