Sun Country heading for some turbulence

I am advised, by an observer in AVL, that there are four (count 'em four) broken M80s from Allegiant on the ramp there today; surely, this is not something SCY would wish to emulate.

Only one when I was there last week.

2018 is gonna be interesting.

"Sun Country Airlines — the little vacation carrier formed by some Minnesota pilots and flight attendants 35 years ago and later owned by two of the state’s wealthiest families — is now owned by one of the nation’s most prominent investment firms.

Apollo Global Management, a New York-based firm led by investor Leon Black, on Thursday bought Sun Country from Mitch and Marty Davis, the Twin Cities billionaires who have owned it since 2011. Terms were not disclosed.

Sun Country will stay based in Eagan and continue to be led by Jude Bricker, a former Allegiant Air executive whom the Davis brothers hired as chief executive in July."
 
Sun Country will be bought by either Southwest or Delta. You heard it here first :D[/QUOT

I disagree CC, they only have like 25 planes - if DL or WN wanted to compete they would clobber them. Why spend the $$ when you can just run 'em outta business. They only made $5 mil this quarter, that's small potatoes.

JetBlue will buy them for the gates, then.
 
There were big rumors here at Alaska that they were gonna buy Sun Country lol. I guess we can put that one to bed...
