Commuting out of DEN
 

I'm just curious who commutes out of Denver and to where.

I've decided I'll be picking up and moving to Denver. I'm young and single, so commuting wouldn't be a big deal right now. I'm just curious as to what commutes are harder than others. I'd commute to the east coast if I had to (ie. went to work for AWAC, which is high on my list), but I'd like to stay around the southwest, midwest, or CO/WY areas.

How about over to MSP, ATL, CVG, JFK, PHL, DCA, or down to IAH, or SAT.

Obviously being based in DEN would be great, but I can't wait around for an airline w/ pilot bases in DEN when other, and potentially better opportunities arise.

Thanks guys/gals!

PM me, I've commuted to 7 different domiciles out of DEN.

DEN-IAH is a nightmare. There are alot of CAL employees that still live in denver and commute to IAH. The last IAH-DEN flight I was on had 24 SR3s.

DEN-ORD is one of the worst.

I second that DEN IAH commute being a nightmare. The cabin fills up just about every flight with revenue pax. The standby list gets into the 40s and 50s with numerous CAL pilots taking the jumpseats. If you come to XJT you might want to use United or Frontier to SAT, ONT, or LAX.

We (AWAC) have a ton of guys commuting from DEN to PHL and DCA. NONE of them say it is fun by any means. There are so many that do it, and the cabins are always full of people, and both jumpseats are ALWAYS full.

The good thing about DEN commuting is Frontier....airbuses have TWO jumpseats. But it all depends on which city you are going to and who else wants to go there.

Assuming you are brave to board one to begin with..........

Wow, I didn't realize it is that tough of a commute. I didn't even bother asking about SoCal as it's seems like a pretty tough commute. Or am I wrong?

Heh, funny thing, I grew up 30 minutes from ONT and 45 from LAX. Oh well.

Thanks for everyone who replied. Definitely some new things to consider.

Thanks all!
