Apparently M is looking for an investor and JB needs cash to grow to 50 more airplanes in 6 years. West coast base and HI flying has been talked about.....take it FWIW, just a rumor from check airman in a meeting. Side note Jude thinks the branding of "the lakes" and the dumb as hell WCCO announcement does SY no justice for an airline in a position for growth outside MN...go figure ��

Thinking about throwing my app in, currently an FO at OO wanting to stay based in MSP. When it comes to personal references on the application, do they like to see a certain type of person? I have a range of people to use, Captain's I've flown with, check airman, previous employers, long time friends. Any idea who I should put down?

Women in Aviation, and their local "Stars of the North" chapter, would be a good org to join and participate in if you want SY.

In the comments section on startribune.com everyone is complaining about the more seats means less leg room. The article doesn't mention how they might achieve more seats. They might take a row of first class out or first class all together to add more coach seats. More seats doesn't necessarily mean less leg room on the sun country planes (if they shrink first class). Any way, to bad they went with the article with out getting more information on how Sun Country will achieve their plan. Jude just started, I'd say give him some time to work some magic.

23- 700/800's, Jude wants to get rid of the -700's and add 5-7 -800's every year until the fleet reaches 50+. Large task. He has openly admitted the contract needs improvements in pay in order to achieve that goal as well. He's certainly got his hands full and clearly ****ed off the general sun country flying public with his plan. It's not been widely well received.
