Like everyone else in my class, I was fairly high time. I don't know about other classes, but the low time pilots in my class have about 5000 hours and all were captains in their previous jobs.
If you want to work here, apply.

Its a very unique place, with fun flying and awesome people. The culture is its best asset, alongside its QOL with schedule. No its not the highest paying, and the training contract is what it is...but theres a reason there is still a line to get in the door and it still takes a decent resume with (usually) an internal rec.

Sun Country has gate spaces, a route structure, planes, pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, ground equipment, multiple hangars all at MSP. The airline Generated 600+ million in revenue and profits of more than 35 million, (thats what the employees were told based on company profit sharing in 2015). It would immediately make SW the only player at terminal 2 at MSP. The MAC has planes for terminal 2 to have a total of 20 gates.
AS way over paid for VA... It still would make sense for SW to buy SC to eliminate competition and add capacity for a couple hundred million dollars just like they did to Airtran...
