I flew out of both COS and DEN for many years. I preferred the trips out of DEN, as the COS trips were typically an early start/late finish. Although reserve in COS was pretty nice, and you didn’t get called too often. Reserve in DEN sucks big time, plus you always have to worry about making the showtime since the traffic has become a nightmare in Denver over the past several years.
Also, DEN is CRAZY expensive now. Good luck with that on FO pay. COS was quite a bit cheaper, but I understand it’s getting expensive there now too.
