Well, crickets from the company as far as future plans related to staffing, LOAs/furloughs, or even the operation and what contracts are active again or planning on becoming active again. Cuba is obviously at the whims of their government, but the company must know something about the rest of the business, surely it would be nice if JC or BVL would at least keep us updated on what the outlook is moving into the fall. I know it's a big ask by Swift standards.

Even with the nhl resuming they haven’t really said anything

Lack of communication has been one of my biggest beefs with this management. During these particularily difficult times, they really should be communicating the state of the company to let us know what is going on

Is that the only thing that's supposed to be resuming? I know college is still up in the air with some leagues planning to play the season and some cancelling already. I know the casinos basically said they were gonna start but then cancelled. The entire Caribbean is still basically closed, so I'm assuming no Sun Wing, Vacation Express, Tony Perez, etc. Cuba sounds like it's not going to open anytime soon either. What about the western firefighters and anything else I'm not thinking of?

Yes, even if they said "We don't know anything yet, but here's what we're looking at for now, here are some options we're considering for our pilots". Some of us are considering getting out of flying and doing something else for a bit till this madness and the subsequent bankruptcies, pay cuts, and trashing of QOL turn around years from now. So it would be nice if they came up with some sort of options (or at least admitting they don't really need us anymore) like just about every other airline is doing, so people can make plans moving forward.

Some colleges will resume, that’s a revenue stream for them. Some schools have cut their season short. Don’t have any info on it yet.
Nhl is restarting for the play offs in YEG and YYZ.
All summer programs are cancelled. So no regular summer flying vex, tony Prague etc.
They are recalling people on leave for August.
Our 4th DHL plane is almost ready to be online.
All casino programs except wendover are running. Light loads in ACY, but IFP and GPT seem to be doing alright.
Miami remains dead.
Little by little it returns. But admin wise still a mess, no communication. Today was the first automated per diem payment for June and it’s messed up as expected.
