Sun Country Airlines CEO ousted; owner Davis steps in as he seeks successor for Erani | Star Tribune

The CEO was removed today.

Back to making up slogans at Hallmark ? hopefully few more of this incompetent management will follow him there

They should remove and replace about 5 more management types and start all over. The Mesaba/Pinnacle mafia has no idea how to run an airline. They were always told how to whipsaw, abuse, yell and scream, and not lead. The owner let this place fall apart. No excuses to not be making money hand over fist in this environment of low fuel prices and full planes. That's what happens when you hire cheap, low talent management to run a billion dollar airline! For an airline that has been around for 34 years it has never learned from past history and mistakes.... let the fire sale begin.

I've been lurking on APC for a while, finally decided to get a username. From all the reading I've been able to do it seems like Sun Country, while going through interesting times with the management, there is little chatter from the pilot group.

1. Does this mean things are going well overall at Sun Country?

2. Is there a chance there's no real grievances worth posting about and the management is simply working out their own issues?

3. Seems like an interesting business model with some great destinations, please PM if you're at Sun Country and don't want to post here.

Thanks!

The below post is still the most helpful I've read so far regarding Sun Country.

Any updates? It's been almost a year. Not looking for rumors, but the practical side of living and working as a Sunny pilot.

Thanks!

10 "hometown" pilots per month leaving per month. Sounds great!

There's truth here but the real story is that there are much better options these days.

I'm glad I spent a year at Sunny and it was a good experience for the most part. I have good memories and I'm a Twin Cities 'semi-local' though not a true Twin Cities native. I would have been happy to spend the rest of my career there, not commuting. But the economics don't work in a field of LCCs with better networks and probably a stronger future and all the majors are hiring like crazy and it's only going to get more crazy.

The fact is that in 2017 there are many better options, especially if you're not a true local committed to living in the Twin Cities area.

That's exactly it. Once you are on second year FO pay at any legacy you earn comparably to what a 6 year Captain earns at Sun Country (majority of Captains are 15+ years at SCA), and have many more days off per month. That's not to say Sun Country doesn't have its QOL perks if you're local.
