Welcome, glad I could help.

No worries Stallen. And welcome to my ignore list.

I think the bid was the topic of discussion.....

If SWA is going to invade DEN hard core and make it their crown jewel, then UAL should be ready willing and able to defend it. Does DEN have adequate market coverage and network flexibility to put SWA on the defensive there? If we aren't "winning," then I'd say we're losing market share.

I think the biggest loser in Denver would be frontier. They already started giving up gates and complained about United and Southwest getting better deals in the recent airport facilities negotiations.
We can hold back WN no problem if Willis make it a point. I believe that was close to the verbiage of the guy in charge of network planning said in his video that basically said those were fightin words!

Once those new -700s show up I expect us to be fighting head to head on a lot of smaller DEN served markets where we can offer good ticket prices to the standard businessman/vacationer/family/skier/stoner but also have a nice first class offering neither F9 or WN offer.

Denver probably has a lot of newly minted "stoner" millionaires. The new Dot-Comers??????

I agree
65 737-7
And 42 I believe used A319s will be a lot of RJ removal
Good times

Did I miss an announcement? I thought that we were only getting 11 or 12 of the A319s. I thought the remaining 319s are just rumor??? I hope that we get them, but I haven't heard anything official.

You are correct sir. The remaining 319's were just rumors when Spirit was saying they didn't like the 319's bc of CASM vs the 321's, however in their last earning call they said they changed their mind and were gonna keep more than they anticipated. So I don't think we are getting as many from them as we originally thought. Of course this is all set in stone and no way it changes.

What no one knows yet, is what is Alaska going to do with the VA bus fleet? Supposedly a lot of their leases will be expiring soon and Boeing is banging out guppies as fast as they can at wholesale prices. I could see a scenario where we alleviate Alaska of those hulls as Boeing cranks out guppies to replace them.
