Big Sky - East Coast

[Capt_robert]

Just read press release stating that Big Sky will stop all east coast operations. Wonder what will happen with the 80+ pilots?
Fly safe

I feel no pity for the residents and government of Saranac Lake. None at all.

This article was in yesterday's local paper there: http://www.adirondackdailyenterprise.com/news/articles.asp?articleID=9717

My favorite quote:

“As bad as we thought CommutAir was, they are looking real good now,” said Harrietstown Councilman Barry DeFuria.

Thanks, you a-holes. Go ahead, keep driving air carriers away. I hope you enjoy driving to Albany to take a flight.

Well looks like he burns through mountains of cash.

Good luck to all that moved b/c of this flying.

It sucks that airlines open and close bases like restaurants do in a test market.

This does not come as a big shocker to those of us who flew/are flying for Big Sky Boston. I wish the best of luck to those looking for work and say smart move to those who saw this coming and made a switch.
Big Sky was dysfunctional at best out of Montana but terrible when expanded to Boston. A company who builds its bread and butter on EAS is looking for trouble. Most of the time out of Montana destinations we were empty. Out of Boston we had such bad scheduling and operational oversight that the writing was on the wall early on.

Hey, if anyone needs help looking for work in Anchorage.... or a place to crash, let me know.

Will some airlines give these 80+ pilots a "preferential" interview.....

I have some friends there... just trying to help in any way I can.
