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..

Then go to a true flow airline... I would do it. FAT for a few years while you fix up and sell. Then BOI... i think its 1 year unless you “request” a airframe then its 2.

After thinking for :30. If you plan to move to BOI in 1 year or under. I would just go ERJ and do SFO/SAN tell you move to BOI..
its worth noting that there is nothing stopping the company from not letting you switch airframes, it is happening right now in SLC. many FOs who had 3-8 years were withheald form transitioning to the ERJ while new hires were awarded the base. this was not a short term solution either, it has been going on for a year.

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?

We have taken on lots of “small” city’s. Abandoned by other EAS carriers. Some new flights like PAE. But its very early spring. Will have to wait a few months to see the true impact.

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

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)
