I retired, 20+ years of night cargo for big brown will take its toll on anyone
After 2 years Ipad to get back but not cargo. Had no idea who swift was but gave them a shot. It’s no where near the regimented structure of a UPS but that’s what I love about it. Constantly changing missions, we fly a big variety of customers It suites me well. And yes 121 majors do ask you to extend or accept reduced rest. Hell we had the damn cargo cutout. With 117. My buddy at UAL complains of the same thing. So you must be a Delta boy lol

If you like swift, then go do it for a reputable carrier. You’ll like it better and see how ridiculous your posts have been.

no one should make excuses for poor scheduling.

That hasn’t changed since the days I was there so don’t hold your breath that it ever will.
Scheduling trips within 15 min of max FDP and knowing that flights always incur a delay at destination as that happens every single time.
You also can’t plan a 45 min turn in a country where it takes that long to get pax off the plane.
Unforeseen delay....such a “flexible” term.

It's cycled between crazy and insane for the 2 1/2 years I've been here. I'm guilty of being dumb enough to believe all the 'Our competition is Allegiant' and iAeros going to start scheduled service'..blah.blah, Fn blah. The ONLY way they measure success is by profits. They don't care about making this a great place to come too and stay. Forget about being proud to work here..I'm embarrassed to say I work for iAero/Swift. We're laughing stocks, As long as sociopaths are driving this clown car nothing's gonna change

When I worked for an ACMI like this I had an app that would record phone calls of numbers i chose. Everytime i got a call from a company number I'd answer by saying this call is being recorded. They stopped messing with me.
hopefully those trying to leave get a call soon. I didnt even come close to imagining how much better it was somewhere else till the day I was in ground school at a new airline.

I guess I must be special, Ive grounded ICE flights, timed out in the middle of trips. Written stuff up. I have never be coerced to anything nor had retaliation for anything.
