• Wanna get away, Denver? Southwest makes bid to buy Frontier Airlines

  ​ Several outlets are reporting that Southwest Airlines is trying to outbid Republic Airways and swoop up Denver's bankrupt hometown airline, Frontier. From the Associated Press: A court had already approved the sale of Frontier Airlines Holdings Inc. to the parent of Republic Airways for $108.8 million, but that deal can be nixed if a better offer comes along. Dallas-based Southwest said it submitted a nonbinding bid of $113.6 million. Southwest hopes that making the bid will allow it

• Southwest CEO Gary Kelly on the bid for Frontier

  Gary Kelly.​With yesterday's promise of a $170 million bid for Frontier Airlines, Southwest Airlines made it clear it really, really wants the Denver-based carrier. After all, the total was nearly $60 million more than its previously announced offer of $113 million, which was already higher than the $108 million total pledged by Southwest's primary rival in the Frontier sweepstakes, Republic Airways Holdings. Gary Kelly, Southwest's CEO and president, stressed this interest in a memo sent

• Southwest post-game remarks about losing Frontier

  ​Moments ago, Southwest Airlines released a statement about what everyone else had already figured out -- that Southwest's massive bid for Frontier Airlines had fallen apart at the last minute over an inability to get Frontier pilots to concede on seniority-oriented contract issues. In the document, Southwest CEO Gary Kelly, who seemed so confident of victory over early suitor Republic Airways Holdings just days ago, comes across as both magnanimous and philosophical in defeat, saying, "T

• Three possible futures for Denver International Airport

  ​Republic Airways Holdings' victory over Dallas-based Southwest Airlines in the Frontier sweepstakes raises more questions than it answers, as Dallas Morning News airline blogger Eric Torbenson makes clear in "What Will Denver Look Like in Two Years?," an analysis published earlier today. In Torbenson's view, United Airlines may not survive the current turbulence in the airline industry, and even if it does, it could make significant changes to its Denver operation. Likewise, Southwest may

• Southwest lets Frontier know it's not flying away

  ​When Southwest Airlines made its run at purchasing Frontier Airlines this past month, a number of industry observers speculated that it was doing so because Frontier was kicking its ass in Denver. But just because Southwest eventually lost out to underdog Republic Airways Holdings in the Frontier sweepstakes doesn't mean the firm has plans to slowly back out of the market here. Far from it: Southwest has just announced that it's expanding service at Denver International Airport, adding fl

• Mile High Murder, No. 53: Thomas William Boyle booked on vehicular homicide for Harlan Street hit and run that killed Raymond Rivera

  Thomas William Boyle should have taken a cab.​Late Monday evening, Raymond Rivera, 48, tried to cross Harlan Street at Alameda Avenue. Unfortunately, he didn't make it -- and the vehicle that struck him didn't stop. According to the Lakewood Police Department, Rivera was struck by a van driven by 48-year-old Thomas William Boyle, who was later booked for felony hit and run, driving under the influence, careless driving and vehicular homicide. A bad drive for all concerned. Check out more
