This happend quite a while ago. I was a Big Sky pilot and have been on furlough starting 1/8/08. Last day of BOS and CVG ops was Jan 7th. Billings is still holding in there, but it doesn't look like will be for long.

Most of us have found other places. Other airlines have been really helpful in offering us interviews, and our Chief Pilot, Stig, has been sending us quite a few emails with job leads. I think it helps that we all have time hand-flying all types of approaches in bad weather with no autopilot.

Foley and Fred deLeeuw have both had their hands in their fair share of failed airlines. I can't say that this was a complete surpise.
