Aside from BOI, what rumor are we talking about here?.. I've heard nothing.

There were 4 unsubstantiated rumored new bases this week alone. I will believe a new base when it happens. Only one of those four rumored bases helps the west coast.

Does SKW has a commuter policy? What kind of pay should one expect the first year?

What rumor are you talking about? Only rumors I hear are for the south.

SAN (E175 since Alaska announced some SAN routes)
ATL (since we already do a few departures there and Expressjet is shrinking. This was a base once upon a time)
BNA (Mx base)

People love base rumors

BOI is one of the four I heard. And, since it is a perennial rumor, it is the one I tend to not believe will happen. In this day of pilot shortages, I believe management will establish bases where they can obtain pilots, or at least that is what I would do.

Most rumors are driven by news articles, or changes in the industry by other carriers, which makes the rumors completely unreliable. For example, SAN was the rumored new west coast base.

BNA and BOI must have the same probability since they're both MX bases.

I only heard BOI and that's been going on for awhile. Not sure how we would open ATL. I know they dumped a lot of CRJ's out there but do we have enough to really open up out there? SAN would be cool but I'm not 175, but that'd be good for the west coast guys. Really though the odds of all 4 of those are what? Just rumors...

Rumors are rumors.

I heard that we will open a base in ANT (Antarctica).

Isn't there a maintenance base there?
