To let everyone know. COA is using a Boeing 767-400 from DEN to IAH, on #1123. I am assuming this was prob a last minute equipment change on the inbound flight. Maybe someone can fill in as to why.
Still very cool. Would be great if the B764 Service was everyday. I know all of us Denver spotters would like that. Right guys?

Aircraft substitutions are nothing out of the ordinary, especially at Continental. It happens all the time. The chance of a 767-400 operating daily on DEN-IAH is next to ZERO.

I was on AA 1123 and that was DFW-DEN, and it eqiup. change was to a 767-300 from a 757. This was like 5 years ago

BA-
While we're being ridiculous, what's to say the Earth won't explode tomorrow? Or that Southwest won't ever order B-747 equipment?
He's giving his opinion based historical precedents, and on all the information available to him as a CO employee. I'd say he's probably right, so while we all know that there's no way to give an "iron-clad, 100% with absolute certainty" guarantee that it will never happen, odds are that CO will never run scheduled DEN-IAH service using 764s.
So let's not split hairs, ok?

EA CO AS,
My point is CO flying a 764 is not ridiculous and and may very well happen. After all, Delta flies 767s to Denver. Why is it so shocking that another major airline will 767s to Denver? Absolutely nothing. He completely ruled out that possibility and that's what I'm arguing about.
odds are that CO will never run scheduled DEN-IAH service using 764s.
I absolutely disagree with this statement. People said CO would never run scheduled DEN-IAH service using 757s. Guess what? They now have 2 daily flights that are on 757s and during other times of the year, they have 3 daily flights on 757s. During the summer, they bring in 757-300s. People said Denver would never see 757-300s by CO in Denver. What makes you think a 764 will never happen? While I agree that a 764 chance is still pretty slim, it's not "next to ZERO" as ContinentalEWR said.
So let's not split hairs, ok?
I should be saying that statement to you. I'm not the one who's using a moody tone and asking rhetorical questions.....

My father is a retired CO captain and we live here in DEN. Even though he is retired, He still flies between DEN and IAH every week. He used to go out of COS until they made most of the flights ERJs. Anyway a few weeks ago they substituted a 777 on an IAH-DEN instead of the 757 it was originally supposed to be. Before people scoff in disbelief, this is from a person who knows what they're talking about (a 36 year old airline veteran) and who was actually on the flight.

This isn't the first time they are substituting with a 764. It's happened several times in the past. Some days they are having very high load days and I think this boom of passengers is relatively recent.
Just 2 years ago, Continental did not fly 1 757 to DEN. The largest aircraft at the time was a 738, then they started flying 739s, and now they have 2 daily 757s and a 3rd during parts of the year.

Klwright69, I have too seen a Continental 777 in Denver. If I remember correctly, it was flying Toyko to Newark and diverted to Denver due to snowstorms on the entire east coast.

That's interesting that they would divert to Denver on a NRT-EWR run. That's waaay out of the way. Canada, hell even ORD would have been a better option that diverting to Denver.

I seriously doubt we would divert a 777 to DEN off an NRT-EWR run, pretty far out of the way on that flight plan. NRT-IAH seems a lot more realistic, maybe that was the case?
As for 767s coming to DEN,
767s have been there in the past, usually on equipment substitutions or the rare delivery flight from Seattle (we brought a 767-200 to Houston by way of DEN a year or two ago), and almost always on flights to Houston. I'm not going to rule out us ever flying 767s to DEN, but if the airline was to continue with its three existing hubs and basic fleet structure, then we simply would not have enough 767s to offer a daily flight to DEN. More 757 flights would probably happen first.
And don't forget, DL flies 767s everywhere. It's not a fair comparison. We have 26 767s, they have about 106.

I too thought Denver was quite out of the way. I'm pretty sure I was told it was bound for EWR, I seriously doubt it was IAH, not too many snowstorms down there.
I have two low quality pictures of it being there. The file creation dates are Jan. 11, 2001. So, if anyone has any way of doing a search or something, for that date or slightly before that, we'll find out for sure.

These are the Continental departures out of DEN on the 11th Jan 2001, dont have time tl look through the schedules to see if any were odd flight numbers, although there are no listed diversions for that day to Den on Continental or for the 10th

Artsyman, Dude. It "WAS NOT" a diversion. It was an equipment "SUB." Operated by a 767-400 for a 757-200 on flight #1123 DEN-IAH. Thats it, no more, no less. To verify this, I called COA. Enough Said!

Pre 9-11 CO was flying a DC-10 daily between IAH and ORD, I would not be suprised by a CO IAH-DEN 767 flight. Although as someone previously mentioned look for more 757s first, also if things get worse at UAL (which there is a 50/50 chance of) CO is making a move on DEN.

This is a really stupid argument. I think right now, the chances of a daily DEN-IAH on a 767-400 are not great, but who knows in the future....Yes Delta does fly 767's into Denver, but folks, Delta is one of the few US airlines that operates widebodies on a number of domestic routes other than transcons or intra-hub operations.....

err...umm I was refering to the post about the guy who was mentioning the 777 being diverted to DEN in 2001, not your 764 question. Maybe take a pill for that short temper.
