Just a couple years ago I commuted DEN-ATL.
It was not an easy commute.
1) There aren’t many options out of N Colorado/S Wyoming, and there aren’t many options out of COS...so everyone commutes out of Denver. So there are a lot of guys!
2) At the time it was mostly MDs, with only 1 sweaty jumpseat, and I ended up on the J/S a lot!
3) You lose 2 hours in time zone change going to work; so I don’t think I could take a check in before 10:30 and be legal with a backup flight. Then when you commute home after waking up at 0400 on the east coast, you are WIPED!
loved living in CO; just didn’t like the commute
