-DEN once again projected to be our biggest base with no more new-hires being sent to IAD/DCA or RDU
-Transfers from east to west should start happening en-mass as soon as August while the east coast flying ramps down through the end of the year
-Captain upgrades should continue and even pick up as they will have to to cover flying

I haven’t talked to a single person on the east coast who is willing to commute halfway across the country to DEN for this company. Most would rather start over at a new regional than to move away from the east coast. Envoy is going to be happy about the number of DEC’s they’ll be getting over the next few months...

My hope is that if the DEN domicile growth holds it will help recruiting, which will continue movement up the list for many pilots. To keep upgrade around 2 years and to have a relatively junior DEN domicile are huge for many people. I personally have a few friends at "other" western regionals who would give a kidney to hold DEN out of training, much less be a line-holding captain in less than 3 years...
