Seems pretty savvy and in the Denver base that they want badly. Much easier to route pax east and west through Denver than Houston.

/\/\/\ This is the exact deal I mentioned on page 1 of this thread.

You read that right.

Yeah I read it right, but you should check your math.

:DIs my calculator messed up or has my brain done gone suspect? :D:D My Andy Jackson is on the latter.

Sorry. Henry has taken over tonight and is messing with my decimal points. Talk amongst yourselves.

ps...what did you think about the bowling and R&R idea???

You mark that frame an 8, and you're entering a world of pain.

I like it.

Kind of like a 35 year long monopoly game. I have been at the table for about 18 years.

I wonder if anybody has a plan in place to grow RJ pilots. With current pay rates, I don't think even opening up the spigot for work visas for foreigners would work as they would take a huge pay cut to fly an RJ.

Yes you did and it was followed by multiple posts with unsubstantiated Denver demise predictions. Thought the link to article which details the deal and mentions it's expiration in 2025 was a worthy follow up.

In 2012, UAL and the city of Denver worked out a deal to forgive 100M in debt (not a typo) if certain growth parameters are met. SWA threatened a lawsuit to stop that deal. DEN ain't going nowhere, SEA on the other hand....

JMHO,
Sled

I find that Amazing since United Fronted the $100M in bonds to get DIA opened. I shoukd THINK we're not leaving!!
