It wasn't an offer. It was a slap in the face that they was pushed on them.

No argument there.

It doesn’t take a Mensa member to take a look at the overall picture and figure out why the expansion has slowed down. You’re one of those that doesn’t understand why margin has dropped during the transition either, right?

Look folks.... it’s not doom and gloom. We have enough trouble putting one foot in front of the other around here. Management knows this and is now doing things one at a time. Let the 80s die completely before freaking out.

There aren't any future NH class dates or upcoming interviews on the website. My guess is that you'll have to stay put until the company goes trough the first quarter of this full-speed-transition year: they'll have a better understanding on how far they can push it and where would it be operationally feasible to squeeze in few new hires classes.

Apparently a pilot pool is being established...check out one of the other threads, however, line pilots are not in the know, it's new. Given the investor info that has been published, we can expect to be "technically" overstaffed once the transition is complete (9.6 pilots per aircraft) which won't change much unless we get more than the scheduled 82 aircraft by EOY 2018.

The FA TA passed 30 to 70%. Glad it did. Tried of the whining from pilots that "date" FAs talking about what a bad deal it was. It's average, like our CBA was. Better than nothing...a place to build from.

Our nights in shining armor. {sarcasm on} They voted on something, what was it {sarcasm off}? Didn’t read it nor did I discuss it with any FAs during my work related only interactions of mine. I’m just a little more than proud to admit that.

“EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Eagan-based Sun Country Airlines is being sold to a New York-based investment group.

Apollo Global Management will purchase the airline for an undisclosed amount.

Current owners Mitch and Marty Davis say they decided to sell Sun Country to a group that could help the company grow faster.

Sun Country’s headquarters will stay in Minnesota. Jude Bricker will remain president and chief executive.

The Star Tribune of Minneapolis reports the deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2018.

Sun Country’s flights are anchored at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and are primarily set up for leisure travelers to reach warm-weather destinations, including resorts in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.

The Davis brothers also own Cambria, Davis Family Dairies and Cambria Mortgage and Title. They bought Sun Country in 2011.”
