What's the excuse now? Anyone else concerned that Denver is gonna be ORD 2.0? Rather disheartening to see so much Denver flying being staffed out of STL.

Denver and Chicago are completely different situations. The Chicago flying was drastically reduced when United decided to decrease the amount of blocks and up-gauge the equipment. It was all over the news.

Denver has remained small because the company has decided to staff the AA flying first before continuing the United growth.

Anyone else notice that very few FO's bid for RDU? I wonder if they will do TDY lines when/if it ever opens

- They can be assigned Captain trips as an FO reserve subject to seniority.
That's what you'd like us to think. Truth is, there's more than a few ticked off CQFO's out there, feeling like they were lied to or mislead. Given my own experience with the recruiting department I'd say that's probably accurate. Same old TSA.

Maybe the company wanted it without consulting the union and the union blocked it.

Maybe. It's the same thing though. The company offering something they couldn't deliver, or hadn't got approved by the union. Oh well, the pilots should just deal with it.

Denver has been damn-near stagnant for 6 months. Several XR's have been added to the fleet in that time. A good chunk of Denver flying is currently staffed out of STL. If this does become ORD 2.0 there's gonna be a boatload of pi$$ed-off new(ish) guys that chose TSA with the expectation of being home based; and unfortunately we aren't in a position to be pi$$ing off pilots like it's the good-ole days. I hope it's not the case, but I'm becoming more concerned every month.

Once again this is all coming from your people at TSA saying this!!! The thing I find interesting is I see the same user names that work at TSA on other forums bashing and criticizing other pilots of other carriers and they themselves work for a bottom shelf well drink regional known as TSA!!!! I understand you are a proud pilot and taking flack about your regional is tough but put on your big boy pants and take the truth!!! Good day my friend.
Lol, well ya kinda did call me out in your post, but it's all good. The only thing I take offense to is people trashing the place that don't even work here. I mean, come on now, who wouldn't take a little offense to that. Never was a fan of the CQFO thing...it is what is I guess. It has seemed to help a lot of them get a better job though. Honestly man, people seem pretty happy here (non CQ's). I don't think I'm being a cheerleader by saying that. Good day sir!
