The fact that Denver is now our most senior FO base is wild. With the amount of displacements continuing to unfold, I am curious how many captains choose to downgrade over commute. Minus ATL we have never seen a drawdown of over 25% of a base within a year. I am unsure how new hires are going to help so many displacements be undone. I doubt very few will leave the base voluntarily and even if they do that does nothing to help folks with DRR.

I hope SWA has some big plans to address the mess they have caused. With little to no info from crew planning except announcing more displacements I feel for all the families hurting on the west coast and beyond.
