If so, management's manning problems just evaporated
No. Solid scope. The owner wanted two get a second airframe type and start an alter ego using 175's at a very low pay. That was stopped during the contract negotiations. Those additional transracial aircraft are only flown by SCA pilots.

Frontier announced MSP-RSW twice-weekly service this winter. That's one of the popular routes which appears to sustain Sun Country's livelihood.

Interesting. Wonder how each will price that route. Anyone know how soon aircraft reconfiguration (adding seats) will take place at Sunny?

In one article Jude said it would happen over the course of a year... Just wondering when it's slated to begin.

A recent article mentioned that when Southwest enters Hawaii market in 2018 that it will cause US-Hawaii yield to collapse, potentially even forcing Hawaiian out of business. Any more word on where this (profitable) growth is going to come from?

A little collusion with 🇷🇺. I heard the Tupelov is coming next month. No sale or merger people. I know the Allegiant folks are hoping for a buy out.

Trust me. The Allegiant pilots are not hoping for a buy out.
