Right now there are 4 departures a day during the week. I would have to assume that number is planned to increase with a base opening.

Damn. That's pretty thin. LOL. Hnl is a 777 for the summer. It'll revert back come Fall. And Lih is Saturday only. I would imagine there will be some 737-900 replacement as well. Which could lead to DEN 737 base shrinkage.

HNL was a 777 year round at least this past year and as of now the timetable shows it staying on the 777.

If that is the justification, we should have had a base in MCO years ago.

I think they have more 757 cycles in an hour than DEN does in a day.

Okay, maybe 2 hours.

Their source citation is "Denver Marketing". Curious they didn't use DoT data or link their reports.
Denver has been one of our most successful cities in the history of Southwest Airlines, if not the most according to Gary Kelly. I think we hit 217 flights a day this month, and we have 820 pilots based in Denver. We add about 20 pilots a month on the vacancy awards. We are adding more gates on the east side of the C concourse and we would grow more if they could hire ground ops faster. We just passed over 1000 rampers and I think they need to hire 350 more. Denver is now a maintenance base for us and I wouldn't be surprised if Southwest doesn't buy or build a hanger. Denver flight ops says the base will be a mega station. Probably over 1000 pilots some time next year. We are flying full in and out of Denver constantly, AM's or PM's it doesn't matter.

United did as well pre bankruptcy ...The Bank. Anything over 78/83 (or was it 85?) got put into a bank. So for months were you flew less then 78/83 (or 85?) then whatever it took to bring you up to the max pay was deducted from your bank.

I don't totally recall the particulars because I was on perpetual reserve and never did exceed to cap even when a line holder.

Is DEN 756 going to fly the current South America and MUC trips as a W or are those flights going to be cancelled? IAH does very few DEN overnights now, and most domestic overnights are EWR and ORD. I think EWR LAX and SFO do most of the DEN fyling now.

How many departures a day are there in DEN now? Looking at all the bid packs for may there are only a few overnights at DEN compared to EWR, SFO, and ORD. seems like plussing up ORD would make more sense if they are looking to reduce expensive overnights.

I'd take that quote with a huge grain of salt. I doubt even network planners have a final idea of what flying will be shifted to DEN from other hubs.

As far as central/south America, some of that flying could be from LA, SFO, ORD, IAD, EWR. All of those cities have a large Hispanic population.
I used to fly LAX-SAL quite a bit pre-911; the flight was always full. In order to fly that route on UA metal, one must now connect through IAH.

I wouldn't bother overthinking this.

That's awesome. Somebody must of forgot to tell Mr. Kelly that Denver is a remote city with little O & D traffic.

Denver is growing like a weed...pun intended.
