DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

The airline industry is not off to a good start this month! ATTA and Ahola Airlines both stop operations to Hawaii in the same week and now Skybus is stopping operations? I suspect most moms on this site are not thinking of a trip to Hawaii (well...maybe you are) but it seems like a lot of folks were booking Skybus for the trip to Great Lakes.

I hope it out okay for you -

Skybus shut down here.. we had purchased 8 tickets for our trip 4/23 PIR 4/25 and no they didn't inform us that they were going out of business , we found out on the news!! and they will refund the purchased tickets. but u have to go through ur credit card company and they told my brother it would take at least 30 days to credit his account after they snt him a form to fill out and he then i turn mailed it back to them... the president of the company quit the week b4 so beware if thats the eay ur looking into going... its not a sure thing, we ended up reserving a rental car and are driving up instead, hope this helps, wouldn't want anyone to get burned.. ie no transpo at the last minute

may help alittle...
I was in California last week when the news broke about all three airlines, some of my co-workers had tickets to Hawaii to deal with. I never heard of Skybus except on this site and knew some of the moms had booked with them. I was trying to get a visual...bus flying thru the sky!!! Apparently not anymore! Hoping they got the news early enough to make other plans for their PIRs.
This is a great FYI discussion
Thanks you Mary
