Angry MEM-DEN 319->CRJ and GNV-MEM schedule change!

Starting in JAN06, MEM-DEN/DEN-MEM is going from 3x daily A319 to 3x daily CRJ.

What a wonderful way to inaugurate the start of ski season!

In addition, instead of having a 7am and 5pm GNV-MEM flight, we are now stuck with a 7am and 12pm departure... If you'd like to leave GNV after your workday/meeting/etc, you can take DL or US from now on!

All in all, I find this insane! MEM-DEN ought to be a very popular route with high load factors and lower yield (but still profitable) during the SKI season! Instead, they are turning a journey from the SouthEast US to DEN in an expensive CRJ ordeal, with hair-pulling short CRJ-to-CRJ connections in MEM and sardine-can service for 4+hours at prices that are about 1.5-2x the price of non-stop UA/Ted/Frontier service from nearby cities!
