The positives far outweigh the negatives. More room for growth. New base will attract new applicants who wouldn't necessarily have considered SkyWest before. All the people that live in and out the DTW area that have been commuting will sift out of other bases allowing some people at other bases to move up the food chain. More opportunities for SkyWest to expand their route structure.

DTW opening is a good sign. They say they wont open anymore bases unless there is a serious commitment on a level of flying from our partners... I see DTW the next MSP (opens with 50-60 crews, then a few years later is 400)

DTW will open, then close, based upon DALs whimsy. Ask any SKYW pilot, f/a, ramper how ATL, SAN,SBA,MRY,SAC, or any number of other bases are working for them.....

Probably spot on. Repubic is parking their 145's so Delta/Endeavor is opening two New York 200 domiciles. Endeavor can't ramp that up quick enough so they will probably use Detroit 200 crews until that is stable. I also saw on a GoJet thread that they will move out of New York and possibly open a Detroit base.
