I heard that there were news cameras all over northeast New York today following us around. Ha, we should have put passengers on the news vans, I bet they got to more of our destinations than we did. (BOS WX sucked today)

Sorry to hear for the BOS based guys, I feel for ya.

I said the Chief Pilot made me feel less than welcomed, the H.R. lady as well as the young F.O. that interviewed me made me feel very welcomed.
Again, I wish all at Big Sky the best, I also heard that Mair is selling Big Sky, true?

I would say so - Press Release in another thread...

welllll, i guess this answers my bigsky pic or jet sic delema......:rolleyes:

mesaba and colgan are also hiring street CA.

I saw on another thread that Big Sky has been listed as COD for deicing and fuel because of outstanding bills.

"If there is a pasenger with a Black AmEx card, please come forward. Our CEO would like to talk with you, and then we will be ready to board the flight."

This is going to be a rough month or two for y'all.

Best of luck Big Skyers.

and this is why i will never be returning to work there!

Makes sense
 

Wow, pretty amazing how fast Paul Foley and Deleuew transitioned their company proceeds to be covered by Great Lakes. Break's down Big Sky's pilot union. Gives the flying to their competition and possibly the resources of planes and pilots at a cheaper rate. Remember when Great Lakes announced they didn't have enough pilots or planes to cover their new EAS routes. Seems like a match made in heaven for management. Funny how the announcement they were closing was made the 19th and worked out in the media by the 20th (fast even for the news companies). Spit out the kool-aid gentlemen there was a reason why management never fixed things in Boston and broke the company in less than a year. Most our planes were full in Boston, IMO. I think there is a lot more we will never know. I feel really bad for the Billings guys . . . nice to see Great Lakes offering them jobs at their pay-rates (20% less). Nothing against the Great Lake guys, totally makes sense for their management. Plus you Lakers are definitely busting your butts at that pay.

Sorry to hear about your guys' situation. Hope something comes along for all of you. The pay here definitely doesn't match the work we do, but for an EAS carrier that's been in the biz for 20+ years, at least we don't have to worry about our small checks bouncing. Helps to be a Colo. native. Really helps the quality of life, more time at home.
PS. Training Dept helps too.
