Above are two articles to answer some of the questions about Sun Country and its new ownership. Sun Country was just sold to Tom Petters and Whitebox investment group. Petters is a Minneapolis businessman who owns companies such as Sunbeam, Polaroid and Fingerhut. Sun Country was looking for new investors a while back to re-capitalize the airline for growth opportunities.

Interesting side note, Petters just bought an Airbus 318 for his corporate jet and said he looks forward to a long relationship with Airbus. So, bye-bye Boeing and hello Airbus.

On a side note its interesting to see NWA employees flying on Sun Country (purchasing tickets) because the NWA ticket prices are so high (even with the employee discount).

How would you know what nwa employees are doing? do you stand in the HHH terminal and check ID's against tickets?
