At sun Country we have the highest premium pay system in the airline world. This month alone for captains it was at 300% for 3 days, 200% for 2 days, only 150% for 3 days and 250% for 23 days. We can’t get FO’s to upgrade. They want to sit in the right seat keep their QOL high and are plenty happy making the living they are. FO’s had 14 days at 250% and 4 days at 200%. So the premium opportunities to happen even in the right seat but not as often and not at the captain rate. Plenty of FO’s making 200k+ and content. I see the younger generation is much more content with that. I think the attrition here lies with only having one base and the schedule flexibility. We have been running at red line since Covid. Guys are getting burnt out. We have had a couple come from Alaska and a few leave for Alaska. It’s all been about commuting Vs not commuting.
