New Base negotiations
 

Im curious to know how many current FO's on Property and Captains would bid for a position in Portland , so I am creating a poll.

As a fairly new FO on property, I am worried about the fact that I along with many of my other peers, will get shipped to Portland. While I agree with some that this move for the company may be a positive one in terms of growth, I feel that if it is not handled correctly, some of us may be severely affected by this. Many of us have moved our entire families to Minneapolis to live and work for this company.

While it is common practice for many other airlines to open and close bases around the country, as we all know this is a first for Sun Country. The current contract has no protections for pilots in terms of involuntary displacements, commuter clauses etc.

I think we can all agree that the major concern for most pilots is involuntary displacement, especially for the junior captains. I know the activity in this thread for Sun Country is not very active, so please if you can ask fellow pilots to join in or at least vote here or on another platform so we can get some early idea of how many would take up the offer, that would help get an idea.

I’m starting in March and would love to be PDX based.

Just one vote for you.

See you in class Beech!

Expanding the rental house search to Portland...

Looking forward to it 3Bear!

Rumor going around of home basing? Any legs to that or bad rumor. It’s from AeroCrewNews and they’re usually pretty close

Take a look at Allegiant, that most likely is your answer.

No!

Sounded like 16 crews to be based at PDX initially (the plan anyways). Does anyone know if MSP is shrinking by 16 crews or is this growth on top of current staffing levels??

Thanks

According to the OPS teleconference today, it is a shrinkage in MSP base.

Any updates/rumors from yesterday’s new base talks between the company and the union ??
