I have a class date with Big Sky on the 21 (next Friday). There are 9 people in the class. I believe that there are 10 or so left in the pool. This class is for attrition and the next classes will be for growth. When talking to people at BigSky they seem happy except for the 19 seat max. The Fort lauderdale thing is going to be very senior as said by the man incharge. There is something big brewing for Bigsky. They only had 70 pilots or so and then by the end of next year there trying to have 50-100 more pilots. That more then doubles the pilots. i guess they are having a bunch of interviews. I am not fully sure about the upgrade but if you seniority allows and you have the time and references then you should be upgrades. Other officials said about 9 months, which works for me. Take care and let me know if anyone has any questions.
