To all of those that have made the company what it is, given their blood, sweat and tears I applaud you and wish you the best.

It is a great industry to be in in good times and a rough one in bad times, but those of us in it know we would rather be no where else.

Hang in there!

Yes they do have a nice fleet, but they do not own a single aircraft.

Pefect timing for the political climate in the US. Once again, a CEO and gang make huge mistakes and it's the little guy, the employees who are out on their luck, although it appears Petty will get his. I know many Sun Country employees and I feel bad for them. We need Sun Country in MSP and NO, I don't want SWA to be the new alternative. I fear the worst on this one.

Do you think it was just a coincidence they filed just after SWA made their announcment to service MSP? They are usually the ones to drive in the final stake.
