I was working during the call, so I missed that. Just repeating what Jude told us a couple of weeks ago.

With day turns becoming obsolete, what are some places you overnight at?

Almost going to need a second base with the fleet additions. Running out of gates and ramp parking in MSP

nope, no new bases in the talks, at least they have done a good job of eliminating any rumor of such. instead they claim to plan on leaving them over night at other stations. so, just as said above, more multi day trips, less turns out of msp.

I suppose that would explain the DLH,RST,GRB,MSN expansions. Delta does the same thing out of MSP. That’s why you see a 321 going to BIS,FAR or FSD at 10pm with 30 pax

Turns are disappearing - which MSP locals will dislike... But are commuters indifferent? One would think less day turns would be better for commuters, but maybe with line bidding, everyone got what they wanted?

Do lines that include Prime flying go junior?

If/when PBS arrives, do you think it will be possible to pick/exclude one type of flying or the other based on preference?

For a 6 day cargo trip, what do those block? Is the pay about even with block or is it better due to trip rig or duty rig?
Also, after 6 days is it just a minimum 1 day off before the next assignment?

The Prime flying, just looking at Flightaware and taking an educated guess, seems to be turns @ AFW and LAL with some of the outstations being:
PDX
ORD
TOL
PIT
BDL
JFK
RIC
CLT

How does the Prime schedule compare to the pax business? Is it better for commuters? or worse?
How would being on reserve relate to the Prime flying vs reserve @ MSP?

Trying to build a better mental image of Sun Country and if it would be a good fit for me.

Thanks in advance
