Yes, Mayor Bieter was referring to Air Cargo, and none of those markets mentioned has run out of cargo capacity as of yet. It will be some time before considerable progress is made in this area of potential growth.

There are several opportunities for new or returning air service at Boise Airport in 2012. Stay tuned!
Cargo makes much more sense. Boise handling cargo sounds a lot like Anchorage doing the same thing. Anchorage has the benefit of proximity to sea but Boise would have more efficient land links via rail and road. When airspace over LA, San Fransisco, Seattle and Portland is an issue I hope Boise is equipped for increased cargo capacity.

On the subject of Alaska/Horizon, I wonder if Alaska is pondering adding a Boise to Reno flight to replace Southwest's departure from that route. Also, I wonder if Delta will increase capacity to SLC for the same reason...
