So, DEN flying more than LAS, lots of four day pairings, DEN as a new aircrew base by Sep 2010?

SWA has more Denver daily departures than they do in Houston or Dallas. United will pull back to stop the bleeding domestically (and redeploy with a CAL strategy in mind) and Frontier is no longer a going concern. You do the math.

I don't want to do math.

You 'wish'. We'll 'work' and take care of our people

I also heard that SWA was buying United...not.

That actually made me laugh...

What a concept. Deliver what you promise - On time, no frills. Keep your employees happy and well motivated and they will in turn work hard to make your business successful.

Den mx base

and to this day, I still can't figure out why we don't have MX there

Had a MX guy tell us the other day that we are indeed going to make it a MX base. Other rumor was open it as a crew base and close OAK as one????

I love to hear good news in the industry. Especially when it's about reputable company's such as Southwest.

Unfortunately some of the attitudes of the more frequent WN posters on here are really sad. Luckily from the friends I have that work there I know better.

Hope that DEN base comes sooner than later for all of ya.

I agree. Let's just take care of our business and not be pricks about it. I've been guilty of this in the past.

It's GREAT to see new flights in Denver. A pilot base is ineviatable as long as Denver makes lease space etc affordable.

I agree with you-- I'm glad that your friends over here at SWA give a good representation of what we're all about--nice people who feel lucky to have a good job. It seems like there are a few posters from many of the airlines here that aren't necessarily a good representation of what the "average" pilot thinks. I would say that the vast majority of us got to our own airlines partly out of luck, and "choice" of which airline to work for didn't have a whole lot to do with it; Much of it depends on who was hiring when we each decided to move on from our previous jobs. For instance, when I was looking to move on to the majors, Southwest was about the only one hiring. It worked out great for me and happened to be my first choice, but given different times and other companies hiring, who knows where I would've ended up. I have tons of friends at every airline who went on multiple interviews with many majors, only to be offered a job at one of them, making the whole process somewhat "luck of the draw." Some also were seperating from the military at a time when only one or two carriers were hiring. I really hope that none of us wish any ill-will on our brethren at other carriers. When it comes down to it, none of us really know if we made the right decision on which carrier to go to (if we were even given a choice) until our last breath comes and we still have some money left over after all is said and done.

I love to hear good news in the industry. Especially when it's about reputable company's such as Southwest.

Kelly saw the Republic branded operations financial results announced last Tuesday night, smells blood in the water, and is going for the kill by loading up on DEN capacity. That is what well run airlines do. And I don't think anyone would ever question whether Southwest is well run or not. The 30+ consecutive years of profitability speaks for itself.

Yes, I am sure this announcement is the result of last weeks quarterly numbers...
