I made around 6K in March, sitting RES.

What does a typical month schedule look like at Sun Country for a junior FO?

Expect 16-18 days of work and anywhere between 80 and 95 credits. Most schedules trend toward the high side.

Right now, expect min days off, and 90+ hours credit. CS has gotten creative with how Amazon trips are being built, and they don't start/end with a DH like they used to, so DH deviations aren't nearly as frequent as they would have been with Nov/Dec schedules.

I expect the company to toss money at the Pay scale as an LOA, to beef up the low/mid seniority Guys. Possibly some more commuter friendly policies (maybe commuter hotels) in the upcoming few months.

I expect the packed schedules to continue till the new training center is up and running (end of summer) and we get some solid language for commuter issues.

A new hire today will be on reserve for about 2 months. Then be flying multi-day trips, as those tend to go very junior. Amazon trips are 1- 2 legs per day, charters often more, but half are ferry flights..and scheduled service maybe 1-2 legs a day...unless they're long legs, and youll DH down and operate back (or visa versa).

Hope this kinda helps.

Great info, thanks! I'll be starting in the coming months, depending on sim space. I am local, so that takes away the issues with commuting.

With what this airline could be in 2-3 years, I’m trying hard to convince myself that the 90+ hrs on a 737 is worth it, all the while trying to commute *sigh*

Excellent info, thank you. I'm local so won't have to deal the commuter issues. Thanks

This airline will have 5 hr average day and 5 hr min day soon. That with 3.5 rig will make it better. Instead Of working 18 days for 90 hours you’ll be working 17 days for 90 hours. Schedules really are going to be similar to other lcc’s and legacies when those work rules are in place in my opinion.

On another note. Has the company even used the out of base reserve yet? Maybe not enough pilots at this point considering they’re offering 300% for fo’s.

This is probably the least important question to ever get asked here, but I’m randomly curious: Is there anything in the galley of the cargo birds? For that matter, what’s the overall crew meal situation?

​​​​​​It's an important question!
every cargo flight has catering. So water, coffee, diet Coke, regular coke, and then whatever meals you are due for the day. Mostly on cargo stuff it's just sandwiches but on passenger flights it's hot stuff, probably a combination of prison/school lunches, but I like em
