Just trying to create a thread to consolidate all Rumors good and bad in one place! Maybe have fun on the forum?

For example

Hawiian Merger
-wide body cert
-We are profitable, HA is struggling
-Both Airlines would grow overnight, Sunny now a true Major
-Prime widebody and narrow body carrier
-Wide Body Charter potential
-Two great vacation airlines morph into...a Mega Vacation airline.

Your turn- GO.
Combining two dumpster fires doesn't make a golden egg, it just makes a bigger dumpster fire. This rumor has come and gone for years, no one is buying Sun Country, Sun Country isn't buying anyone.

Also, "Sunny now a true major" almost made me spit my coffee out. Great comedic value there.

We’ll be a true major when I can finally get a gluten free crew meal versus what is offered now.

So a few months ago you're begging for pilots but now hoping for attrition? That's a bold strategy Cotton!

Can't grow without upgrades. Not getting upgrades. Not doing anything to make it better, maybe some things to make it worse.

That's pretty much the filler referenced in the penultimate post.

I don’t think they’re doing anything to sabotage themselves into being bought. In today’s environment, that may not even happen. They’d be shooting themselves in the foot if the stock were to go down considering how much of a stake the leadership has.

From the town hall they had, it seems the growth of us has a lot to do with whatever happens with Spirit. If they go under and lose their airplanes to their lessors, we’ll swoop in and cover the void they leave. Part of why they want bases.

Oh and Amazon. We’re going to grow that with a few planes likely

Yep, 73’s from them. And by around this time next year… nothing more specific than that
