A little off-topic, but I was very surprised to see that this Airbus was scrapped after only 3 years.

Aircraft N808FR, 2007 Airbus A318-111 C/N 3038

Surely it had many more years of flying left in it?
Our buddy Chloe most certainly wasn't scrapped for elevator vibration Frontier desired a lower cost per seat mile and she will be replaced with a new A320 in the spring. High CASM is giving the A318 poor resale value, but 90+% of parts are common to the family, so it made sense to scrap it.
