Right now there are 4 departures a day during the week. I would have to assume that number is planned to increase with a base opening.

I think they have more 757 cycles in an hour than DEN does in a day.
Okay, maybe 2 hours.

As someone pointed out. Southwest has done a remarkable job in Denver... of creating a market. It's just not our market.
Were these figures compiled by Denver airport authority or their lobbyists, I wonder.
Their source citation is "Denver Marketing". Curious they didn't use DoT data or link their reports.

I don't totally recall the particulars because I was on perpetual reserve and never did exceed to cap even when a line holder.

How many departures a day are there in DEN now? Looking at all the bid packs for may there are only a few overnights at DEN compared to EWR, SFO, and ORD. seems like plussing up ORD would make more sense if they are looking to reduce expensive overnights.

Is DEN 756 going to fly the current South America and MUC trips as a W or are those flights going to be cancelled? IAH does very few DEN overnights now, and most domestic overnights are EWR and ORD. I think EWR LAX and SFO do most of the DEN fyling now.

As far as central/south America, some of that flying could be from LA, SFO, ORD, IAD, EWR. All of those cities have a large Hispanic population.
I used to fly LAX-SAL quite a bit pre-911; the flight was always full. In order to fly that route on UA metal, one must now connect through IAH.
I wouldn't bother overthinking this.

Denver has been one of our most successful cities in the history of Southwest Airlines, if not the most according to Gary Kelly. I think we hit 217 flights a day this month, and we have 820 pilots based in Denver. We add about 20 pilots a month on the vacancy awards. We are adding more gates on the east side of the C concourse and we would grow more if they could hire ground ops faster. We just passed over 1000 rampers and I think they need to hire 350 more. Denver is now a maintenance base for us and I wouldn't be surprised if Southwest doesn't buy or build a hanger. Denver flight ops says the base will be a mega station. Probably over 1000 pilots some time next year. We are flying full in and out of Denver constantly, AM's or PM's it doesn't matter.
That's awesome. Somebody must of forgot to tell Mr. Kelly that Denver is a remote city with little O & D traffic.
Denver is growing like a weed...pun intended.
