who we are

Since coming to Frontier in 1994, Sullivan has spent more than seven years in the airline's training department as an instructor, check airman and, most recently, as director. Prior to Frontier, Sullivan flew Lear Jets for AirNet Systems, a part-135 cargo operator and spent two years with the U.S. Naval Academy as a civilian flight instructor for the USNA flight indoctrination program.

In conjunction with Sullivan's promotion, Captain Bill McKinney, Frontier's current vice president of flight operations who intends to retire within the year, will continue in his executive role as director of operations, a position that also reports to Potter. The position fulfills an FAA requirement that an airline's top flight operations executive has at least three years of experience in flight operations management. McKinney's new role will provide additional leadership during Sullivan's transition and will help prepare the flight operations group for McKinney's retirement. McKinney will be responsible for System Operations Control (SOC), dispatch and crew scheduling.

McKinney, a 36-year airline veteran, came to Frontier in 2001 from Vanguard Airlines, where he served as vice president of operations. Prior to that, McKinney spent 29 years with TWA and served in a variety of capacities, including general manager of flying/chief pilot; manager of pilots; director, flight safety and engineering; and flight manager. McKinney has logged in excess of 12,000 flight hours and is type rated to fly the McDonnell Douglas DC9, Boeing 727, 707, 767, 757 and 737, Airbus A320, and Lockheed L-1011. He is a former United States Air Force pilot instructor, and holds a bachelor of science in industrial engineering from the University of Akron, Ohio.
