Neither are CNN, MSNBC, and a slew of other left wing run media. They all run false narratives to further their own viewpoints. But last I checked, this forum is about aviation, not politics.

We operate passengers and Amazon on the Atlas certificate. We run part 121 rest rules for cargo flights and mix in 117 for passenger flights. It has turned into a real mess for us which I won't bore you with. An advantage sun-country has is your current payscale beats Southern's and probably Mesa's.

I just hope this doesn't derail your contract negotiations.

For what it's worth it seems Amazon wants their stuff to move rather than move at a minimum cost. We've scrimped on wages, failed to staff planes, made excuses and are losing business. I wish y'all the best and hope your management doesn't make the same blunders ours has.

Sorry to interrupt the thread. Wondering if there’s a route map for Sun Country Cargo anywhere? Saw it on the jumpseat listing tool and wondering if it might be an option to help with a commute. Thanks in advance!

Jumpseat tool he’s talking about is an ALPA thing, fyi. There isn’t an easy way for non-alpa to see the flights at the moment, unfortunately.

Was this the contract y'all were bidding on?

Yup. Bit of a bummer but not surprising. They already have 330’s so it just makes more sense. I never had high hopes for it anyway. And I don’t think a 767 is in our future either..

I feel like I remember seeing A330 pay rates in the most recent contract. I assume this is why they were in there, Sunny was planning on bidding for this flying.
