I fly MSP-DEN a lot as well. I even buy First sometimes to get 3 bags so I can easily fly my snow gear. Saving the 2nd bag fee R/T can make the A fare about $50 more each way than the $200 cheapie.
I used to fly WN to DEN before I made SM. I could easily move back to them, especially after I've made SM for the year and don't need MQMs or MQDs. The lack of a late DL flight back to MSP on Saturday evenings sucks, too.
If DL looses many DEN customers, I could see them switching to E175/CR9 service.
On the other hand, how long is F9 really gonna be around? I have my doubts.
