It appears you are the only person to post what I suspect will happen...or at least DEN-SFO as ORD-SFO would piss off another company that is as big as UA at ORD.
This route has been I my own personal "want list" forever, but I am sure that whoever/whatever p[lans routes knows about the coincidental DEN-LAX flying by NW, the day after F9 announced MSP-LAX, and the fact that as soon as F9 stopped their route, NW stopped theirs.
MSP has a lot of BIG $$ business, between manufacturing and mining companies in MN, to consulting firms, and NW is known for their high fares too. IF UA wanted to fly this route, why wouldn't they have flown it during an "up" time in the economic cycle? My guess is airrumors.net is as credible as it is reputed to be, and should never be brought onto this board.
