To reiterate, UAL in DEN gives you many, many more options to pick from down the road. Even if you have no desire to work at the TK, at least you won’t have to spend a couple of extra nights away from home every time you need recurrent training. And you won’t spend the better part of a month gone for any fleet training either.
Due to so much space for expansion, DEN is going to keep growing over the next decade into UAL’s closest equivalent to ATL or DFW. Expect more international flying to be added in the coming years. If the loads look favorable, you and the fam could hop a flight to LHR in Polaris for a weekend. On WN? Not so much or so easy.
Back when UAL management thought shrinkage was a viable way to compete, WN was probably the better choice. And if we don’t get a contract the pendulum might yet swing back that way (esp if WN gets one soon). But assuming we get that fixed in the near term, UAL is a better choice in almost every way for anyone living in DEN. Good luck.
the other question is…will United incorporate the karbon jacket into the uniform policy. Southwest does it and they look sharp. Wearing a blazer in September thru April is super lame.
