Ouch!! Not to mention how do you get to work as a home based pilot when the majority of flights are cancelled.

So they froze the pay raise they just gave you? WTF

The way I read it is this years pay raise is a done deal but any further pay raises are frozen.

I think we can expect furloughs in the near future, voluntary at first but mandatory at some point if things don’t get better which is probably the same throughout the industry.

I guess the one saving grace for Swift is that their business is quite diverse so I believe there will be pain but I doubt they are going to close the doors unless everything goes to hell in the next 6 months and then there will be more to worry about than a job.

The new pay rates that went in to effect 3/1 remain. No step increases for the duration of the national emergency. Regarding the post about the pilot who crashed. Not the same person. They were already at swift when that happened

It wasn't very clear. Knowing how BVL operates however, it wouldn't be unexpected to have the pay raise not happen. You might be right about the furloughs. Based on the memo JC sent out, they have work for 18 aircraft, with 4 in MX and out of service out of a fleet of 32. That's basically half the fleet not making any money for them, but costing them money. All their big money stuff is gone (Pro Sports, March Maddness, even Laser). There just isn't going to be much flying on the HAV flights because people are simply afraid to travel, and while the customers will still operate some flights I can see many canceling. The rest of the business they're going to try to get is stuff that really is kind of high risk such as the OAK coronavirus flights which I'm sure many guys don't want any part of. We'll see what happens, but they were already fighting many small fires before coronavirus, and now it's become one big one. I'm sure they have more sick calls than ever before, and the people who are homebased and do come to work probably can't get there when expected due to cancelled scheduled 121 flights. I wouldn't be surprised if iAero decides to cut their losses and get out while they are still ahead.
