Swift, along with several other Airlines have applied for the Government help. I do hope, for the sake of my fellow pilots, Swift gets the money. Furloughs are probably being halted for now because of the strings attached to Uncle Sam's help. One of them, is that the Airline will not lay-off any of it's employees until September 2020. So this is a business motivated decision, not because the Airline is a sweetheart. I think the cargo business is great news. PAX business will not be available any time soon. And I agree with the management troll, DavidSpeaks , that Swift's saving grace is it's diverse business portfolio.

Correct. And the same would be true for any company that took the money. I was just informing the user I quoted because he seemed like he wasn't sure if we got approved for it or if we were or weren't actually applying for it. All bets are already off for any company that didn't get the money. They could fire people today. This was a good thing for the employees and there are people here trying to downplay how much this will help people out as we navigate the next few months as a society.

Remember this statement from the village idiot. This was back on march 25th. Now they are having DavidSpeaks push news about how good they are to us. Not about the health and wellbeing of " The Team " . Such BS. It's all about them. No one else.

Why should that be any different than you or I? As far as I'm concerned, it's all about ME. As it should be. I could give 2 craps at the end of the day about any co-workers or the company. The only one looking out for my best interests is ME. And that goes for PPE, my health, or any other thing.

Could happen on any flight, commercial or charter. Take provisions to protect yourself. Wash your hands, don’t touch the guards or detainees, don’t shake hands or be lovey dovey with FAs. This virus isn’t going away, how you keep yourself safe will make a difference just like not being around people sick with the flu, should be something you’re doing anyway.
Mainline crews have been infected too, can catch it anywhere. I bet ya a lot of people in the industry have had it and never knew it.

I'm glad Swift could take advantage of that. We'll get through this together, despite lack of leadership and management failures. We all have the capability as Pilots to take command of any situation and this won't be the exception. Hope everyone is safe.
