Are you blind to any sort of facts? United Airlines cannot fly to London Heathrow from Denver, so what is the point? There is no market for Dener-Frankfurt, Denver-Brussels, etc. As for going the other direction, United already has Pacific gateways in LA and San Francisco. Perhaps Continental would have used it differently, because they didn't have SFO or LAX
