Thanks Jay for you reducing your pay. We the employees of SCA are working with a 50% pay cut, its great to know you feel the pain and "reduced" your pay to 10,950 per month......I wish I could have been a part of the "for the good of the cause" like you......How is Petters doing??? Does he have a loving cell mate....I hope so....

The employees are losing their houses and cannot pay their bills for 'the good of the cause'and Jay Salmen is being paid almost 22k a month. Hopefully there will be some more arrests....

i had heard awhile back petters was buying a bunch of airbuses.....what happened to that? believe me SCA a horrible place to work, what a joke the big wigs on news pretending to take cuts, anyone who supports them staying around is nuts. you all deserve better than that. anyone who feels grateful petters bought them in the first place has a screw loose also. remember this has been going on a decade at least. what about the airbus deal? anyone know?? funny too the ones involved literally walk around talking about others private financial information and brag about all the fundraisers with petters and live high off the hog. dirty money poor sca folks. leave them, all of you. they dont' deserve you working for them. you deserve BETTER!

Jay runs Petters Aviation, he is the one being an asshat taking 2 grand less every 2 weeks. Stan runs Sun Country and is taking ZERO right now, thats a standup guy.

why is it that petters attorney would have to make big trips with him? curious. as far as the guy who slammed bag guy, you are wrong. i hope more arrests. you have to be a team player at this point, regardless of education cuts across the board, unless that is you're sleeping with the enemy?!

It would take a groundswell of defection from NWA/DELTA to help SC...and I cannot see NODELT not dropping prices short term to defeat SC....anyone see it differently?

Although I bet they would like to, NoDelta cant drop prices to give Suncountry the coup de gras. Right now they are still waiting for regulatory approval from the DOJ for their merger. The DOJ is deciding if the merger is anticompetetive or not. NoDelta cant risk looking anticompetetive because it would put the whole merger in jeopardy.

Oh Pleeeeze! Anybody in this town and Vegas knows Jay Salmen (as opposed to Stan) was Petters' sidekick and part of his entourage on numerous lavish trips town, womeninzing...etc etc....Google Salmen and you see he is one of the many Petters associates on the big payroll that has had his own big legal troubles in the past. Shady Shady!
