If they are going to reopen DEN 756 for s few island turns GUM will survive.

'89 didn't just derail this thread he drove it off a cliff.

Just curious how do you know the profitably of those flights, or any United flight? Do you work in revenue management?

Yes it is. Same reason FDX has a COLA for HKG.

The gap between Min and Max on the Vacancy Bulletin in all seats is pretty high (probably on purpose).

Unlikely any backfills, considering the diversity of bidders.

It's not in the schedule yet, but we just got the SYD neighborhoods free of all them 777 pilots and now here they come lowering property values again.

That's complete BS. Hong Kong Cost of Living Index is astronomical compared to Guam. Guam is cheap compared to the big asian cities. Food is expensive, but the rest isn't. Nice try bubba.

Why do peeps gotta worry about what Guam pilots get ($3K/mo)? Bid Guam if you want the extra cash. Otherwise, just worry about your own business. How about private school tuition? Jeez.
