Oh crap, Southwest is coming to Denver? We won't last 6 months.

Unfortunately.....full planes don't necessarily mean profitable flights.

True, but a $29.8M third quarter profit does. Of course, you'd know that if you did a little research before sharing your amazing insight. Besides, we were talking about whether or not the people of DEN would "stand for" an ULCC. His comment was that they wouldn't. Obviously, load factor proves that statement incorrect. Profit is a whole other topic. Please, try to keep up...

Original post was "sale finalized"...nothing more, nothing less. I shouldn't be surprised that this turned into a negativity circle jerk within the first page of replies but I am.

The ratio of "supporting fellow pilots: pilots wishing our demise" on this website is unfortunate.

Best of luck to all involved, and to those that cast stones in an industry rife with glass houses.

Absolutely right, because unlike everywhere else in the country, DEN passengers don't care about the ticket price.

He has PBS there, right? Something he wanted at NK for years, prepare for it to get ugly.

I mean prepare in the best sense. I wish you guys the best of luck!

Frontier pilots still bid hard line. No PBS. The flight attendants however are on PBS

What about the tie of the Seniority list.

It's absolutely irrelevant, just like the Toonsters. :D
