Bad DEN-MDW schedule
Probably the first bad thing I can say about F9. I'm flying DEN-MDW in December, and was disappointed about the DEN departure times.
615am is the first out, then nothing until 1145am. 5.5 hrs between morning flts. I realize it's likely due to west coast banks arriving in DEN, but it's a blow to local DEN-MDW traffic. Either wake at 3am or arrive MDW 3pm.
All other flight times (in both directions) are generally good, with about 2 hrs between departures.

The service on DEN-BWI isn't great either. It seems where they are competing with Southwest, they have the weaker schedule. Perhaps not worth flying a plane during the prime earning hours of the day when they have to price compete with Southwest.
