They say it will be the “largest Hub” by summer... DVR each month has increased the base in size. And the same with “ Denver flying bases”. Have seen growth, for example 67 pilots were awarded Denver for May 1st. (2 ERJ Captains 24 CRJ, 16 ERJ FO’s and 25 CRJ)
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..

FAT is Jr, (like NH or 1-2 months) and BOI is also( about 2-3 months) . Sounds like you have a good plan going, QOL is mey in this business, unless your 21 and not chains attracted. 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..

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

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.

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.
Good to know.
