United went to xjet next and apparently DEN is right around the corner for them.
At least the DEN 2.0 rumor was fun while it lasted.

While I heard that rumor due to a more west cost not A Denver base plus it takes 5+ hours to get someone there. If you have an out of base reserve you lose a day on the way out and the way back so staffing is hard. Then MX too and they would have to hire an entire base of mx workers and get space and parts, etc or lose a lot of revenue flying getting the plane back and forth.
I also think Denver is prob being held back and to be used as a recruiting tool for the non wholly owned wholly owned united operators.

DEN base......DEN has always been a disaster for RAH.
i took a job at RAH for the DEN base flying 170s to Mexico for Frontier, seemed like a lot of fun. After 2 months of driving to work Frontier went bankrupt and DEN closed.
fast forward to buying Frontier and a 190 base opening. Guess who couldn’t get it? I was involuntarily displaced to Shuttle out of seniority order when DEN closed. So now I can’t bid DEN because not allowed to lateral. So I spend my time commuting to ORD while junior pilots drive to work.
BUT that’s ok!! I got Q400 CA and there’s a DEN base! But wait all the Lynx pilots will remain in DEN out of seniority order so you can commute to MCI......
no matter now as all the DEN bases are closed. DEN is like kryptonite to RAH and has failed every single time it has been tried.

At the end of the day Republic will never be anything more than a northeast regional. Bedford said it himself.
