I don't know anyone, but there has to be a another way to apply besides a rec. After all, if you don't apply your chances of getting called are generally zero.

Go to suncountry.com look under employment and requirements are there. Just send a resume to Todd LaSalle the chief pilot.

Whats the quality of life like at Sun Country?
- Are all the trips day trips (MSP-MCO-MSP?) Whats reserve life like?
- Do you guys usually credit over guarantee?
- You guys in negotiations (are the FO rates on APC accurate?)
- Is Sun Country going to continue to hire a few here and there?

I know thats a couple of random questions but thanks to anyone that answers them. From the outside looking in it looks like a great place to fly, especially if you are local in the MSP area.

Bob, QOL at SCA is pretty darn good. About 70% out and backs and 30% 2-3-4 day trips. Reserve is either AM/PM or Red Eye each overlapping at 14 hours. If you're on AM and haven't been called by 8am, 99% chance they won't need you. You have to have a minimum of 12 days off on Res.per month. I'm guessing the top 40-50% of seniority list credit over guarantee (70). Over 75 pays 150% of hard fly you pick up. In Feb lines are averaging 80-85 hours. FO rates on APC are accurate. We are in negotiations and everyone is expecting a healthy bump in pay. Are we gonna keep hiring? It changes day to day. If we start doing more international ie Europe and Hawaii I would guess yes in the fall with the new rest rules coming into play.
