Today Denver has 128 departures... ORD has 184.. SLC 121 as a comparison.. “largest hub” doesn't mean largest crew base, because other bases do do DEN flying..But im sure it will grow some more to support over 180 departures a day..

Kirby is on record saying most of the UAL growth should/will be happening at the mid continent hubs (DEN, IAH, ORD). DEN is supposedly our most profitable hub, not sure how they are measuring that.

Is the increase in staffing on the Crj or Erj? Are you guys absorbing flying from other uax that can’t staff?

I heard it's not going to be the B gate airline expansion, it's another airline with big plans and in DEN.

Good to know.

Doubtful that it’s for another major. GoJet has said there focus is on ORD/EWR. So what that means for there DEN flying is anyone’s guess.. might just be that. (There Denver flying)

Would love sole ERJ flying out that way. Would be a huge bummer if it were only CRJ.
