Default Questions:Short Layover Times on F9

Booked tix for BWI-SEA on Frontier (F9), trying them out for the first
time. The connection time in DEN is very short, 30 min outbound and 35
min on the return trip!

Only been to DEN once before on UA in the very looong Concourse B.

Is this enough time to switch gates at DEN for F9? Does F9 usually
have these very short layover times? On flight day, any chance of
having them "hold" the DEN-SEA flight if the BWI-DEN leg is behind? Do
I have anything to be concerned about here?
Thanks for any info and/or re-assurance.

or c) if the plane scheduled for the second flight is the plane used for
the inbound flight :-)

I think you should be fine. Of course the A consourse is not as long.
Also not all of the gates there are used by F9.

I flew ATL-PHL-ITH on US with a tight but legal connection on Friday.
The inbound flight was late, so I walked briskly to the outbound gate
where I had to wait for the agent to finish a phone conversation which
was about asking where I was. They were clearly holding the plane for
me.

I have seen UA hold an UAX flight a time or 2. They did this once when
I was flying SEA-CPR via DEN. Our flight was lae getting into DEN, as
we had a late arriving aircarft from IDA, due to bad weather in the
Washington area. My UAX flight was the last one to CPR, so I think that
had something to do with this.
