If puddle jumping is your definition of stable then you are right on!

Funny Guy...

I don't need to mention the number of dropped domiciles or dropped cities, it is all common knowledge to anyone with a mouse and free airport internet connection.

If you call this stable you are crazy!

Big Sky is in the same place they were 25 years ago, as long as they have the security blanket of Montana and the taxpayers money to fly god knows how many round trips a day to Sidney... of course they will always be barely hanging around.

big sky quit those cities because they didn't make $$, not because they were replaced. i don't call the airline unstable but revenue challenged. the ctities we used to serve guaranteed pax loads and revenue but didn't deliver. chalks was a good opportunity but THEY didn't deliver. btw, quit spewing your non-educated bs around. get the facts. delta is very happy these days from what i have heard. completion and on-time in bos is very good.

News... apparantely they have a 10k/1 year training contract so keep that in mind if you think of going there as a quick stepping stone. Do you really need Big Sky as a step to Eagle?

Sounds like a crazy business plan to me, go into a city and then blame the city because your airplanes aren't filling up. Heres a few ironic examples for you.

Big Sky can't survive in:

Spokane... but Horizon, Southwest, Alaska, Skywest, United, and NWA can.

Kalispell... but Horizon, NWA, and Skywest can.

Great Falls... but Horizon, NWA, Skywest, and Allegiant can.

Seems like an airline issue to me, not a city issue.

For someone looking for information about Big Sky, you seem to know all of the answers already...and they are all negative.

Don't know anything about them as I have never worked for them, I just thought it was a little bit funny that you started off by asking for insight into the company, and as soon as someone answered, you began talking back and degrading the company like you have worked for them for 20 years.that you asked about in the first place. If you already know that it is such a terrible and unstable place to work, then don't ask a question as to the company culture and attack a person for saying that they don't think it is that bad. It sounds to me like you have a preconceived negative opinion about the company.
