Denver commuter gouge?

Great topic. What's the pros and cons with LAS, PHX, MDW out of ATL for bottom 90% seniority = reserves or maybe a glimmer of a line?

Don't know much about MDW.

I think DEN will be the best option for holding a line. At least in the beginning. Heard a rumors from a Base manager that FOs will be displaced out of PHX, LAS. There are quite a bit of LAS/PHX FOs living in the DEN area, but I guess not enough to cover the base shrinkage.
Right now easiest to hold a line in LAS and probably also one of the best bases from a commuter standpoint. Lots of hotel options, lots of commuting options & lots to do.
Also better chance of being used if on reserve since more PHX FOs live in domicile and enjoy flying on their days of.

Not funny in any way possible

Commute there for another airline. Not much to offer other than the hotels on tower road are where the bulk of crews stay as far as I can tell. Van service is pretty good from most of them. where I've come close to getting burned is afternoon shows in the Summer. The afternoon thunderstorms affect traffic from 2-3 pm and beyond when they hit.

Good luck.

How is van service "pretty good" when schedule layover crews can't seem to get a van quicker than a half hour and often bump their regular customers off to let you on?
