Two years ago I captain I know with a "friend" in the UAL CP's office SWORE he'd seen the memo UAL management put out that indicated Denver was going to be shut down in a matter of months. Fast forward to today and United has suddenly woken up and decided they want to fight Southwest after years of hiding their heads in the sand while Southwest made themselves comfy in Denver. In the meantime, they're fleeing Houston because oil business is tanking. UAL management can't see more than 6 months out.
