I just don’t see anything Sun Country offers us. Last phone call said that management did look at their books but didn’t see anything they liked.
But hey I am just speaking opinions nothing more.
SCA would offer us an international opportunity and an ETOPs certificate we don't have. I don't think a merger would be bad since most of our bases are sheltered. We aren't as vulnerable to seniority as other airlines are. And they only have ~350 pilots.
People over there are talking because Jude has made major changes in a short period of time. and most of them align with what we have and do. My opinion (just an educated opinion) is that he's prepping them for a merger with us.
Time will tell. I think we will hear something before year's end.
