[quote user="cordon"]<p><span class="smiley">[:)]</span></p><p>Well, why limit the question to Big Sky Airways? The whole airline industry loses billions per year, year after year. Who pays for that? Just whose money are they losing? I have difficulty believing that the people who own billions of dollars are going to let it slip out of their hands. That doesn't make sense, so I think there is something else going on. What, I don't know.</p><p><span class="smiley">[:)] </span><span class="smiley">[:)]</span> </p><p>[/quote]</p><p> </p><p>Well, the entire reason that I bring it up to begin with is to show how comunities can be left in the lurch for transportation option if there is a shutdown...as in the case of Big Sky Airlines.</p><p>It is a big issue in that Big Sky was contracted by the government to provide reliable plane service to smaller cities and towns not normally served by the larger carriers.</p><p>Those cities that were served under the "Essential Air Operations" and currently have Amtrak service have at least another transportation option.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
