I figured I'd post here as it pertains to Swift.

What does it (will it) mean for Swift crews? Seems like lots of growth, relative anyway. Will they have enough crew for 5/6 additional aircraft? What does it mean for upgrade and bases etc...Is home basing coming or currently being honored? The reason the basings issue is important is they can open and close on short notice and the pay is a bit low to chase bases. Also, limited jumpseat and no pass travel make it nearly impossible. I know, I'm a skipping record but I am honestly interested in Swift. I am type rated in the 737, PCs in the -400 and -800 but the package is a bit low. Yes, we know this already.

Does the company realize this and what communication, I know you can only say so much, is being given? I mean China is offering big $$$ to fly 737s so one could come and get some hours and be off. You could fly 5-10 years in China, bank some cash and either be done or come back and fly traffic watch.

My own personal take is that Swift will have a hard time finding and, or, retaining people with the current package, as will many others. This is a real opportunity for Swift and they've come around a bit, like Miami Air, but they need to come around more.

Discuss. Can we please keep it clean, factual and, non personal.

Thank as always.
