Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc.

Everybody was hiring.

So in the course of two weeks, I was hired by United, American, Sun Country, Eastern, and Republic.

Okay.

And by the third interview, we had full extensive medical exams that we had to go through with each and every one of those carriers.

Southwest has four, and JetBlue's has three.

And we also have Sun Country now that goes to Minnesota nonstop one day a week.

Wow.

So

You know, a lot of churches, well, maybe some churches, not a lot, but some churches, pastors, you know, they have like private jets, and you might wonder, does Ryan, you probably don't wonder that, right? But you might wonder if Ryan has a private jet.

I'll just tell you no, okay? My favorite airline right out of the gate is Sun Country.

Airlines, some of you are judging me right now because you are Delta to the core, okay? But I've just found Sun Country.

We're priority plus members on Sun Country.

We love it so much.

I mean, I feel like that's a feat, you know? Have they stranded my family before? Absolutely, you know what I mean? forgiveness, you know, forgiveness is kind of part of the way of Jesus, so I just feel like it's an opportunity to practice that, you know, I was thinking about this this week, other things, what else we got, we don't live in a mansion, okay, you probably could guess that, I don't have like a fancy, fancy car, would love it, be fun, but you know, I don't have a fancy car, my 2004 Chevrolet Malibu is old enough to drink, you know, so we're kind of at that stage in our relationship there, a lot of you actually have said this to me, you've said, Ryan, just You probably need to get a new car, dude.

You were at two of them where we were supposed to go to the Super Bowl, and I was just at one of the two.

We worked at Sun Country.

Yeah,

we were in the stands.

We were going to Florida.

And I had to go on WCCO semi-waisted.

After the game, and it was snowing, to tell people that they would be getting their money back and they didn't need to call Sun Country and blah, blah, blah.

I was just like, I said to the makeup lady, I said, I've had some beers at this game.

We know that Alaska and Hawaiian are you know, got married.

We know that Allegiant and Sun Country got married.

So there's been some consolidation.

You know, will that have the same profound effect on industry-wide earnings as we've seen with consolidation in the 2010s? Maybe not because those are, you know, relatively smaller airlines, Hawaiian, Sun Country.

Will, you know, United ever get its wish and merge with American? I'm not sure, you know, we've talked about that in the past.

We don't know.

night's sleep.

Anyway, Allegiant and their now-owned Sun Country Airlines...

They fly routes out of secondary airports, third-level airports like Madison nonstop, which would be great for your special needs autistic brother-in-law to go nonstop.

Normally out of Madison, going on a long route, you're going to have to change planes constantly.

And I know with Sun Country, you can buy seats in the first three or four rows with extra legroom, and it's cheap.

So the fare's cheap even during holidays relative to others.

It's nonstop.

You give them... special service request based on your brother-in-law's special needs, and they should be fine.

possible.

And then Allegiant recently bought Sun Country.

So both of them have other things to worry about.

Just a side note for the listeners, this would be the airline formerly known as Viva, what, Brett? Aeroboosts.
