Today Denver has 128 departures... ORD has 184.. SLC 121 as a comparison.. “largest hub” doesn't mean largest crew base, because other bases do do DEN flying..But im sure it will grow some more to support over 180 departures a day..
Kirby is on record saying most of the UAL growth should/will be happening at the mid continent hubs (DEN, IAH, ORD). DEN is supposedly our most profitable hub, not sure how they are measuring that.
Is the increase in staffing on the Crj or Erj? Are you guys absorbing flying from other uax that can’t staff?
