I tell my Air Force buddies looking to separate that if being domiciled in DEN is of great importance to them for their career, don't choose UAL...go SWA, period. As others have mentioned, there is ZERO wb flying in DEN, and although there is some marginal nb growth as we bring some regional flying back in house, it's quite tame compared to other bases in the system. DEN is a junior base for SWA. People may get to DEN within two years or so, but they will be on RSV for a LONG time.
