Typical weekend meltdown was shifted back a day. There are 10+ open trips out of just NY tomorrow with negative reserve coverage and no premium interest. Looks like we'll give the Middle East airlines a run for their money in cancellation %

Bendo’s video with Davis yesterday was reassuring. It’s obvious they can’t say much but the whole vibe was certainly a welcome change. I have never seen Davis smile before.

Hang in there!


I never saw him smile once while he was at Sun Country. He’s a robot.

Well, thats where the bankruptcy protection letter comes in. Of the three clauses they can use to come to us for more concessions, the main one, "material adverse change" to the business plan is a fairly strong wording.. and I don't think "creditors want another 10% cut" would cross the definition of a material adverse change.. especially considering all we've heard in Dec/Jan was to help out next weekend because bookings are high...

I'm guessing the conversation is, we burned through that 100m in savings that was meant for a year in just 10 weeks with nonstop IROPS. So they want the employees to pay the cost of their bad management yet again. They already said they've targeted an additional 300m in non fleet savings. How much of that is the labor group being hit with?!

Better question is not IF they will ask, but will NK pilots give more when asked.

Why wait? They can always send money back to the company now. Or start a gofundme for the execs unemployment country club membership...
