What are you going to fly? The Avro RJ?
SWISS did not exist 11 years ago. Were you with Crossair or Swissair?
Yeah, the Avro is the one on offer at the moment.
I have a couple of irons in the fire here in the US too. If one of them pans out that is what I will take. But so far no interview yet.
SWISS has been cut into two parts, with the former Swissair pilots doing all they can to differentiate the Avro guys and keep them at a lower level of pay and keep them out of the Airbus fleet. This is one of the reasons I can see not going back.
One reason to return is that I would immediately earn 50% more than I earn now and would get some QOL back. But upgrade is uncertain there and nobody knows how they will ultimately integrate the two sides, i.e. if the Avro guys will ever be allowed to go to the Airbus fleet.
We'll see. But the wheels are in motion for this to happen. The next few weeks will tell. At least I have options now.
