They furloughed off and on a few times---so long upgrade could be factual. They had 8 737-800s at one time, then downsized to 2; not sure how many now.

Looks like they are up to 14 737-700/800s now.

Silly questions to follow...

Silly question #1: Does Sun Country overnight at all those Mexican and Caribbean destinations, or are they flown as out-and-backs or turns?

Silly question #2: A lot of those destinations are "seasonal". What in blam tarnation do the pilots/crews do in the "off-season"?

Silly question #3: How many days off can you expect to get as a line holder?

Silly question #3b: How many days off can you expect to get on reserve?

#1 mostly out and backs

#2 from what I understand they havent furloughed in a couple years. and If you do get furloughed it is only like for a couple months.

#3 a&b reserve 10 days off a month a group of 4 hard days off then groups of 2 but on a 31 day month you get 11 line holders not sure since i prob wont be one for abot 5 to 10 yrs

I will get a bid packet and let you know about the line holders

I will tell you it was the most relaxed interview I ever had. Friendly Outgoing snd Happy Midwestern people. your basic why we should hire you stuff.
Not one tech question just be relaxed be yourself if your a funny guy let it show. they asked me what my fav sit com was I told them then they asked me if i was a character on the show who would I be I told them they laughed.
I will say that everyone I have talked to there pilot wise everyone is happy there and likes it there small company everyone knows you. I been at OH for almost 11 yrs and it was tough for me to leave just because I will miss the people I flew with I know I made the right decision . Heck I even turned down Qatar interview because my class date was on the day of my ground school at Sun.

My backround experience is 10,000 hours DC-3 CV-340 CV-580 DC9 CL65 CL70 CL 90 PIC IN THE CL SERIES. goodluck!! not sure where you are coming from but if you get hired you will not be just a number at Sun. pm me if you want anything else Gooney

not sure I know is that there are 2 more classes after I start on monday
what I like about this place is they are smart with there money if they get busy then they add planes no spending money if there is no route structure

Congratulations on the new gig!! I know alot of people at SCA and will tell you you made a good decision. A real fun environment.

How are the travel benefits? Does a spouse or parent have to pay a "yield fare" to travel on SCA? Are there ID90 opportunities on other airlines?

Also, I know some majors don't allow regionals to jumpseat internationally. Can SCA pilots jumpseat internationally on anyone?

Congrats on getting out of Comair gooneybird_71!

This may have been asked somewhere else, but I can't seem to find it. APC says that Sun Country is still hiring. Does anybody have updates on that? I am looking for any current information about the company I can get. I am very interested in them. Thanks.
