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.

Frontier could be a gorilla in the room. If Alaska ever bought them out it would give AS an instant national route network.
