Sun Country questions

[johnsonrod]

Any rumors as to whether Sun Country will change its fleet to Airbus from Boeing? I know the owner just bought an A319CJ. Perhaps they could get a deal worked out.

Also, when will the last of the furloughees be expected to be on the property (if they elect to return)? Anyone know what percentage of furloughees have elected to return - any estimates?

The furlough list is supposely done and they got around 10-11 out of 40 to comeback in the last round of call backs. I dont see them getting any airbuses for the airline, yet?

Petters made a company announcement a while back saying the only Airbus he is buying is the 319 for himself. That doesn't mean it's never gonna happen, but that's what he said.

Petters currently has ordered 6 318's. These are for Petters Aviation and do not have anything to do with SCA. No plans for SCA to switch to AB.

"Also, when will the last of the furloughees be expected to be on the property (if they elect to return)?"

End of July.

What do the retirements look like there?

Old, wrinkley, and gray-haired...j/k:laugh:

Quite a few in the next 3-4 years if the law don't change. Maybe 25-30 out of 160 pilots (15%-20%)...just ballparking the numbers.
