Has anyone else flown F9 (Frontier)?

Has anyone else flown F9? I have just been on a recent trip the States and was lucky enogh to experience a return flight from SFO to DEN. Their mixture of A318's & A319's are very well maintained, and appear spotless inside. Their IFE is also excellent, with DirecTV too. Would be good to experience a carrier like that over here in europe.

Another thing too, I found their adverts pretty amusing. Here are a just a selection of them. There are plenty more to see over on YouTube

I commute on them weekly. A great airline, great people but a questionable future. Having a Denver fortress might be OK if they only had to battle United. Now that SWA has moved in to Denver as well, that a lot more competition, and a competitor unlike United. The CEO recently left very short notice fueling rumors about acquisition by other carriers. F9 is doing what it can, they keep the planes busy from what I can tell. They hit the resort towns of Mexico from many cities other than Denver, something neither UA or SWA are doing.
I wish them well.
