Default Den756

With the company announcement of a DEN 756 base reopening, I would like to hear what the flying was like when the base existed before. I am probably a ways from holding it, really just curious. I've flown with guys that held it and they spoke of flying 3 Hawaii trips per month. Probably transcons as well I'm guessing.

3 Hawaii does not sound right. a 3 day would pay 15-16 hours. If they did some w flying it could be a 5 day and pay 25 hours. Bottom line is you still are looking at around 15 days on like most trips.

There was probably some other trips like transcons thrown in. Just curious what the flying was like, good and bad(if any).

When they shut us down, we were doing a lot of hub to hub, hub to MCO, LAS, BOS, and PS transcons. We had daily HNL (not summer), and Saturday LIH and KOA. I think today KOA is like 3 times a week. We also did OGG (not sure of frequency) and other HI trips from the LAX/SFO.

Will the L-UAL guys have grandfather rights or super seniority...or is that something only the Cal guys think they are entitled to? ������
