Attrition is and will. The main issue is the current pilots have no more referrals. Like i've said before why come here unless you are jobless... THE OWNERS SAID THEY ARE SHUTTING IT DOWN! I know it might be contract talk, but maybe it isn't.. No one knows. One thing I know is that he is not a boss that anyone wants to work for.
Tough to recruit when the OWNER publicly said that and he still has not recinded that phrase from a few months ago.

I think there is a meeting soon. On the plus side. We have a job fair for pilots and many other jobs at the Ramada today.... I thought we were shutting down? I am not taking anything less than industry average. This guys a clown!! Prospective pilots beware. This will get uglier.

Not really? The company continues to insist that the only reason for profitability is the current low oil prices and thus pilot wages must remain the lowest in the industry or else.

I did go to the job fair yesterday and everyone seemed really positive. Being local I would love to fly for them, but not during the current climate there. Hopefully everything will get sorted out soon.

Thanks -- If you're in Minneapolis, Sun Country could be great for you. I don't think anyone actively discourages pilots from coming here, but before you come, please know that things may go either way. Since it's a private company, everything is pretty much unknown (actual profits, future business plans, etc.) and all speculation. The only "known" is that much more money will be earned elsewhere if that's what is most important to your life.

I didn't go to the job fair but got called and had a voicemail from them today about an interview. So maybe it was slim pickings at the job fair.. Thinking I have to stay put until they get a better contract/pay raise..if that ever happens.

Ok, it's been 2 weeks... so was there an update put out to the pilot group regarding any recent negotiations on the pilot contract? If so, was the meeting even a productive one?

Hard to even imagine the frustration after 5 years of negotiations.

Thanks.
