look at the pay rate table for sun country. The 737 tops out at 294 an hour, it’s the highest 737 rate under contract anywhere. The wide body rates are also pretty impressive. 350 an hour for the A330.
Apollo has slowly been cashing out. They own less than 51% of the company now.
it takes a good group of execs and management along with willing investors to make a successful airline. Sun country finally got that. The growth plan is impressive. Apollo was the best thing for the pilots at this airline. If it were ran like it was before Apollo came in Covid would’ve shut it down. It was run by very inept guys. Not airline savvy at all…
