I know the Denver item has been beat to death. But once again a PSA to any new hires. It will most likely be a minimum of 3-4 years to old Denver as the plug. And with no growth and a very junior captain base...the upgrade will most likely be the longest in the system at 10+ years. Subject to change but the company has given zero indication of future Denver growth for the base even with the Max 7. YMMV
