I expect the axe to fall by the end of the day today, I'm already looking for work.

I’m sure most of us would much rather take a furlough and have the chance to come back to the company , versus they keep us on property and the company slowly bleeds cash?
for some guys here in there 50s if sun country shuts down they will never see $202 an hour in their careers again. Just a thought. I’d rather take 0 pay now even for a few months/year than start all over. It’s gonna be near impossible to get employed anywhere after this.

Yes, being furloughed sucks and it is not fun. But it's also not the end of the world.
I've been furloughed and I remember being distraught and devastated. But looking back
at it more than a decade later I know that life went on and I made the best of the situation.

Seems like the union talking to the company might be premature at this point. Why don’t we wait and see what sort of aid the government is willing to provide in the stimulus package. Upper management may be able to keep the lights on for 30-60days with full pay for the front line employees.

It’s more like they are about to hang them to dry
Apollo has made it clear, their policy is to NEVER support a failing business. They cut losses instantly if they need to.
If they foresee us dying, they will shut down the airline, liquidate all assets, and fire every employee.
We don’t get to ask daddy for help on this one.
We need to solve the current crisis as a group. We’re all in this together, and we’ve all got to be prepared for tough times ahead, in order to survive.
That’s from Sun Country. Email was sent out.
