A Fond Farewell
Independence Air, we never knew you.
Former Flyi pilot Katie Pribyl, who was furloughed last March, said the airline simply flew too many 50-seat jets -- it started with 87 -- to too many cities -- 47 early on.
"I remember flying from Dulles to Providence, Rhode Island, one morning in the fall of 2004 and we had zero passengers," she said. "We couldn't cancel the flight because we had 20 passengers to bring back from Providence. I remember thinking: We can't sustain this very long."
