Sun Country pilots union would seek impasse in negotiations - TwinCities.com

Yeah the end of ownership keeping all the profits, almost time to have to share. Hang in there guys/gals! Better days ahead.
I'm guessing its gonna come down to the wire, I hope not but guessing this owner is willing to go minutes from a strike just to flex.
Gotta be to much money being made right now to do anything but reach a TA with the pilots.

The attrition varies. Maybe 3 a month leaving. A couple more retiring in the next 6 months. So far they are hiring 6 a month for the rest of the year. YES they are having no problem getting people to come here. A 737 is some peoples dream after flying an RJ. The question is how long will new hires stay?? This place could be a underwing jet training mill
. Reserve is not fun here. 10-11 days off. They fly you a lot now. If the pay doesn't get adjusted and hiring continues at places that pay twice as much as SCA there will be a constant revolving door here.

Do you think they will displace out of MSP to a new base "First Officers" or just hire for a new base at some point in the future?
A new contract would have to have some nice raises to get Minnesotans to leave MSP and be based in DFW or MIA for example, I'm guessing. I can't imagine people will stick around at $50-$60k and commute from MSP??

You would be surprised at how many people would stay.
This airline is like a traditional Part 121 with 4 day trips, Part 91 corporate with the day turns, and Part 135 with the 5-6 day trips. We are also doing a fair amount of ETOPS flying to Europe, The Middle East, and the Pacific. It has a variety of flying. Depending on seniority you can bid different every month.
