The company is loyal to where the business is. Not to Denver just because it’s Denver. Either adapt and act accordingly or go to United. Not trying to be mean here but the company won’t grow Denver so people don’t have to commute. I was DEN based for years and I hear you and feel you I do. But this is not a Denver company anymore.

ps
I don’t even know if those fuel numbers we see are even real? 😂

Seems like the general consensus here is CVG because the cost of winter weather in CLE would be rather expensive, but we don't seem to have as much CVG flying.. although it flip flops seasonally?
Anyone know what the wives and other sources are saying?

Couple months ago wifes said CVG. They cant be wrong, right?! They predicted PHX and DFW. I have been hearing CVG much heavier than CLE. Personally I think were going to hear an announcement in April or May since it would go along with the frequency of base openings/announcements of about 2/year since late 2021 announcement of ATL opening. At the moment we do more flying out of CLE like you said but the flying is increasing for CVG in the coming months. CVG probably an easier commute for crews since the high volume of cargo flights. CVG also seems to be a much more economically thriving city and more potential for growth according to several news articles.
