Overheard in HQ pilot planning....

Planner #1: "Stoops is trying to bid back into DEN."

Planner #2: "How long is his freeze on the 737?"

Planner #1: "6 Months"

Planner #2: "Let's get all these Airbus bids out quick before his freeze is up"

Thanks.

So a first snap shot now means you can hold a particular seat? That must be new!

You guys? I'm merely making a point that there is no need for you to get bent out of shape over A: Something you can't control and B: a snapshot from day 1 means very little.

Bent out of shape? Your reply matches your name. Too many on this forum are negative and have very little constructive information to add.
I'm sure I'll get to where I want eventually. Happy to be where I am for now.
Just don't understand why you would make such a negative comment and assume that I think someone would hold DEN over a snapshot.

Why so hostile? I'm sorry my joke got you so upset. I hope your day gets better.

All it takes is a quick check of previous posts to see how negative someone can be.

Anyway, heading back to watch for the next snapshot.

See. I knew it... damn planners.

Honestly, it is good to see at least a little bit of commitment to the den base. Makes sense, as we are going to have 25k training events per year. Gotta have service for that alone...

That's what I'm talking about.

I'd love to see us get a little aggressive in the DEN market.

There was that one video put on the "you ask" series. The VP (can't remember his name off hand) said SWA wanted to make DEN the crown jewel and he said those were fighting words.

Just found that interesting. Seems like a few things are pointing to growing DEN, but... nothing seems to come of it.
