Looking for any information regarding Big Sky airlines. QOL, pilot bases, benifits, reserve time, upgrade time, etc. Also if lines are commutable from the Southern California area. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help.

I flew on Big Sky a few months ago and talked with the crew and they said alot of good things about the company and they seemed happy.

 

Does anybody actually look at the information in the AIRLINES section of this site? I could answer all of those questions except reserve time, QOL and commuting info just by looking at Big Sky's profile on this very site! I hate to sound like a jerk but thats why the information is published on this (and other) sites! FAFinbound, its not just you, this is something thats annoyed me in the past.

 

I find that in this forum, more so than others, there are "newbies" and lazy people that come on here to ask questions that really haven't done any background research on airlines in general. Other forums, such as flightinfo, have much more experienced people posting, and people get ripped a new one (rightfully) when they don't bother doing a search.

 

So, the majority of his question CAN NOT be answered by looking at Big Sky's profile... Why are you so annoyed. How about this: If you don't have anything to add, shut your pie hole and don't post a reply! What a concept!

 

Where do you think I got the info from? I do ask myself, why don't people look the info up themselves? Either they don't know, or they're lazy.....

 

Still does not answer questions about QOL, and reserve time... How about a little patience and respect for the new guy?

 

To be fair, exactly half of the questions WERE answered by looking at the Big Sky profile. Those were the important questions. QOL, reserve time and commutability are all moving targets and depend greatly on the person asking's expectations, flexibility, family situation, etc.

And though I may not be adding to this particular topic, I like to think it would improve the quality of this entire site if there were fewer of these useless posts that could be answered by searching past threads and doing a little research! Big Sky has been discussed at great length in other threads.

SkyBusDriver, I'm not sure who sh!t on your sandwich but my comments were not directed at you, nor were they directed at FAF. They were general in nature and my point is there are very detailed profiles of airlines on this site and others for a reason. Asking about pay at an airline who is profiled on this site is about as idiotic as the guys who get on asking for the gouge on XYZ airlines.

 

Great! All the problems on the forum have been solved Now lets get on with it...
