Take into consideration Sun Country currently doesnt pay for a hotel during new hire training. The first month is all systems, Procedures training and indoc, That is all held at a bulding at the airport. The second month is sims and IOE into the third month and that is at the Pan Am building in Eagan. So If you are not from here it would be wise to have a car. It's not an easy or commuter friendly place. Buyer beware.

Management and ownership needs to realize that it's gonna be a temporary place for commuters and new hire local pilots based on the new contracts that are being signed.
