I heard Jude came into ground school and thanked his pilots for making a crappy airline into a mediocre airline. He and the rest of management are clueless in the state of the industry. Apparently doesn't realize, if his mediocre pilots didn't sling metal down the airways, his existence would be meaningless.

I think what we're seeing here is a kind of lashing out. The situation couldn't be more simple: Sun Country needs and intends to open more bases for expansion. Great. The contract presents hurdles to this that must be cleared. Okay. We are the lowest incentivized major/LCC in the United States. Do the math.
I think they're frustrated that it's such a foregone conclusion. They are working overtime to paint the most grim picture possible, so as to make any incentive seem worthwhile. It's like Negotiation 101.
What they haven't accounted for is the comradare and morale of this place. Against all odds, it's good! For the most part, we enjoy our job, we like Sun Country and we get along very very well. This is an exceptionally well-meshed pilot group. So while management goes about feigning outrage, knashing teeth and flipping the table over the notion of not opening PDX we're all like "LOL ok whatever."
We've seen worse. So, so much worse. Just open the stupid base and throw us a bone. It's a win-win. Enough already with the drama.
