SWA announcement on the 9th

[Snapshot]

Oh, so you know Gary personally, huh?

Apparently you do?

I hope to God you never get hired on at SWA. Guys like you are exactly what we don't need.

I'd say that applies to you too, slappy.

Back to the original post... I spoke to an agent in Denver and they said they had no clue what the announcement was going to be. Denver is already working on building 8 more gates for SWA on the east end of concourse C. The city also has plans to build D Concourse ( That's not really new, DIA was originally designed with 4 concourses). But this is already known. So what will the announcement be......? Maybe a DEN base?? 2 days to find out.

An expanded version of the same rumor anticipates an announcement of a major increase in flights in DEN...just another rumor though.

The C gate expansion is not for SWA it is just a masterplan expansion project at this point. If SWA financially commits to the expansion, I'm sure the city will build them though.

Can't imagine a crew base in DEN under the current environment (high cost /terrible yield) unless they plan to merge or acquire F9 or UAL (both are likely M&A targets). Who knows, but scheduled announcements are typically very anticlimactic.

And by the way, some of those new gates go to Frontier.

Thanks for the laugh from you comeback. I almost fell off my chair.

Well played.
