[Philmont]: More on Southwest Airlines to Denver

Here is the first two paras of SWA's long-winded press release on
restarting their operations to DIA (Denver); those interested in getting
the full infomercial should check out their website.

For those who are new to the List, this development is going to
collectively save BSA Units literally tens of thousands of dollars every
summer, as the Colorado airports have been an overly pricey destination
for over 20 years now. My guess is that a full sized Philmont Crew
coming from any SWA hub on the the east coast will save between $50 and
$100 per man off their RT fares, and as I mentioned before, similar
savings can be expected with some United and Frontier fares.

Here is (the start of) the release:
