It’s not really a “policy” because we don’t have a true commuter policy. It’s more a bandaid in place of a policy, with the benefit that it’s not punitive.
There is a late check in policy in the CBA. Very generic but I feel that's better. More or less keep crew scheduling in the loop as to what is going on with your travel to base or to start the trip. You can pay the missed time with sick or just eat it. I would encourage commuters to read it. 25.O in CBA

Arguably the better kind of commuter policies
Like some, list for a flight with 2 backup flight with availability.
Miss all that, then call off and have 60 days to make up the trip before
any pay loss.

Default App Submitted

I just submitted my app to Sunny a few moments ago. I received the reply email stating it was received and I watched the video from the VP of flight Ops.

I feel much better having watched this video now. I was a little skeptical to begin the application anyway. However, I have good friends in MSP, and a good friend that flew with them prior to making the jump to another airline. Nothing but good things to say about the company and culture.

Heres to hoping for a call back,

thanks, fly safe,

Curious, who exactly was the VP of flight ops in the video?

I jump on Sunny every once in a while. Always the nicest crews. Not one of them has had bad things to say about working there.

Good luck on your application! I started this thread as a new hire a couple years ago, and am no longer at Sunny, but had a fantastic experience there with fantastic people.
