Hey all. With SkyWests announcement that they'll be building new facilities in Boise Idaho, I was wondering if there has been any word of a Boise pilot base?

Not realy the case. Most the new SEA stuff is hub/spoke out of Seattle.. Plus adding a few SW Alaska citys... But yes before SEA was even a base SLC crews did most the flying. Same with LAX/SFO. But thats was 5+years ago... I see more growth in MSP/DTW flying. MSP may end up our largest base!!!

Pretty unlikely at this point. We also have maintenance bases at BNA and SBN? or FWA? that aren't pilot domiciles.

1 CRJ new hire class per month Jan/ Feb / March
2 EMB175 new-hire classes per month until the end of time
So right now it looks like a lot of the hiring will be on the 175 side.

SEA flying
Does the CRJ or 175 do most of the Seattle flying?
SEA is pretty senior, right?
Is flying to SE Alaska likely to be on the CRJ side or 175 side?

I remember reading a few hundred pages ago that the SEAK flying was Delta on 900s and the 175 for AAG was sea-mke/mci and PDX - Stl.

I haven't a clue about the Alaska or Seattle flying though.
I'll say this, though: if you want to fly the 175, SKW is hiring droves of guys to go fly it. At the moment the bases are ORD, DEN, and SFO. I'd count on ORD since the conventional wisdom seems to indicate that a lot of the former Bro guys will bid SFO/175, and the SFO 175 new hires will be displaced back to DEN or ORD.
Of course, take that advice as being worth about what you paid for it ;-)

When did we get a DEN 175 base? Wasn't there just people on here saying they couldn't get into a new-hire 175 class for months?
