They had an EAS contract out of BNA to a few towns in KY and TN. When the 2 years was up, none of the communities wanted them back. Even if it meant no air service at all.

PW never said anything about parking at an FBO at BNA, and shuttling pax across the field to the terminal. When this was discovered, PW was always "in negotiations for gate space". The gates never happened, and having to clear security at BNA, negates the benefit of flying. Throw in the slowness of the 208, and you might as well drive.

Not that any of this relates directly with being an employee there, but if they BS the customers this way, it likely carries over to their treatment of pilots as well.
