Okay I’ve wondered about this for a long time. About a year ago at my current company, flew in for the layover but incredibly late. Landed around 1am. Had to adjust show time, etc. Got down to the train, nothing running. Of course. We remembered there was a bridge to the main building, so thankfully we were parking at A something and we eventually got to the curb to find a taxi.
so the trains really stop every night? What happens if you’re out at B and C?
I welcome you to Phoenix Sky Harbor, America’s Friendliest™ America’s Tastiest Airport™. Similar problem. Some master plan for the sky train to go out to the rental car center. They shut the train down every night at 10pm for “testing,” which has been occurring for about a year and a half now. No end in sight. At times, the entire curb for rental car looks like a Disneyland queue.

And about 100 homeless living in every corner of the upper mezzanines. Oh and don't forget about the 20 cars and catalytic converters that somehow get stolen everyday under the top notch airport security systems. Almost third world!

The whole airport is a joke. Pena remains a 2 lane nightmare that is packed all day, took me near 30 minutes to make it to I70 at 11am. I guess the city has no plans to add lanes. Lines at concessions are horrid. Trains stop at midnight still and are down to 1 track. No plans to add deice pads. Every other major airport in the country has a streamlined rental car pickup, but DEN has each company run thousands of buses each day wasting huge amounts of diesel. I could go on.
The airport is run by incompetent fools.

Unfortunately it seems to be a common trend in this country with infrastructure not keeping up with demand.

If you want to be Denver based I would recommend United. We have mid level seniority captains jumping ship for the Denver base currently.
Newest rumor is a San Juan base, can I interest you in some hurricanes and mofongo?

Crime rate is about the same, maybe better in SJU, but no federal income tax would be a huge plus.
