Hopefully we'll have more info next week
Once you get some seniority you can work almost as much as you want. If you want to work down to the minimum 10 days off. Some do and some don't. Some guys credit 900 hours a year and their are some guys who credit 1300+. It's all up to the pilot and their situation and desire. Included in the new contract at sun country are raises in 401K starting January 1. 100% deadhead pay in another year. And the bigger raiser are in the last 2 years of the contract. No one knows what ultimately will happen at sun country in the next 3-5 years but if I were you I would interview and see what happens. I would also be interested in seeing what that new TA allegiant has and what it might offer in the long run.
Honestly I don't even think sun country management has a 5 year plan.... They are a reaction bunch not an aggressive strategic group of guys.
