By JAN FALSTAD
Of The Gazette Staff
Employees for Big Sky Airlines, led by the pilots' union, are attempting to buy the Billings-based business and keep running Essential Air Service flights throughout Eastern Montana.
Big Sky pilot captain Bruce Tall, who heads Local 15 of the United Transportation Union, and other pilots from Billings flew to Helena earlier this week to meet with Gov. Brian Schweitzer and his staff.
On Wednesday afternoon, they went a step further with a telephone conference call with local economic development and airport officials to marshal support to keep Big Sky flying
