There’s more than a few airlines left behind by the legacy contracts. WHICH! Is what we should all compare ourselves too. Not some Mesaba experience.
Still. I fly 12 days next month. Make 15k this month with picking up. Right seat. Way better than our old employer.
And hope you’re doing well. Even if you’re a putz.

This is a good company with sone really good people and we all deserve better then the last couple. Our maintenance is equal (or maybe even a touch better then) DL. Go count the engines we have stacked up in the hanger. This is not your father’s Sun Country.

Company shut down hiring until March (starting now with no Sept class). According to the company it’s to facilitate the planned simulator move from CAE to AVG. I think it’s additionally the FO/CA imbalance- which makes it feasible in the first place. It’s not like they couldn’t find 738 sim time elsewhere if they really wanted.
if you’re thinking about a spot here- there ya go.
If you’re a recent hire- feel pretty sorry for your reserve purgatory.
For me it’ll feel uncomfortable watching the pilot group shrink over the next months (high attrition, no hiring). Do we slip back to 550ish?I’ll be watching my seniority percentage slip significantly. Maybe falling into reserve….
I’m surprised this was the decision.

Honestly, my hunch is that they know that people waiting literally 6 months from hire to OE is not good for anyone. So they are using this as an excuse to temporarily lower the class sizes to a more manageable level.
