Default DIA reserve, live in Ft Collins

Any UAL guys work on a 2 hr call out on RSV and live in Ft. Collins? I'm looking for general advice. How often does weather and traffic make you late? Average cost of tolls? Alternative routes? Etc. Anything you can think of that might help me with my decision. Thanks in advance!

470 is around 10-15 bucks one-way depending where you enter and exit, check their website for exact details.

Don't go shortening our call out time. It's 2:30.

Sorry, I should have come clean from the get-go. Unfortunately I'm on a 2 hour call (F9). I wanted to survey UAL because I thought I'd reach a broader number of pilots for a more complete response. I do appreciate the help.

It's been great Prior! Good to hear from you. Now if I could just get some northern colo. pilots to give me the skinny on living in Ft Collins, I'd be set for life

Live where you want to live. Reserve won't last forever.

I wouldn't think you would have any trouble making it from Ft. Collins. 30-45 minutes to 470 and then another 20-25 to the parking lot. If the weather is bad or weekend rush hour you might just have to be around the house to head out if called. You could always jump over to 85 and go through Greeley if I-25 closed for some reason. I don't live up there but have done that drive many times. Good luck!

I agree with Magro. Sitting RSC in Ft Collins should NOT be a problem.
