Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the
workers in such workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 15, 2015 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Frontier Airlines, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Frontier Airlines Holdings, Inc., Headquarters, Customer Service
Department and Reservations Department, Denver International
Airport (DIA), Denver, Colorado (subject worker group). The
worker group includes workers in the Corporate Office, the
Frontier Catering Facility, and DIA F-9, as well as the main
campus of DIA. The subject worker group also includes on-site
leased workers from Sitel and Swiss Port. Workers within
Headquarters supply corporate support services. Workers within
the Customer Service Department include, but are not limited to,
customer service agents, ramp service agents, mobility assist
agents, operations agents, ground service agents, equipment
mechanics, and related staff. Workers within the Reservations
Department include reservations agents and related staff.
The petition alleges that services supplied by the workers
were shifted to a foreign country.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the subject worker group
have become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the supply of services
like or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Frontier Airlines, Inc. (DIA) Denver, Colorado.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Frontier Airlines,
Inc., DIA, Denver, Colorado, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of corporate support services, customer
service services, and/or reservations services, meet the worker
group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:







"All workers of Frontier Airlines, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Frontier Airlines Holdings, Inc.,
Headquarters, Customer Service Department and Reservations
Department, including on-site leased workers of Sitel and
Swiss Port, Denver International Airport (DIA), Denver,
Colorado, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 12, 2014 through two years from
the date of certification, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from employment
on the date of certification through two years from the
date of certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 23rd day of October, 2015
