Still 5 or 6 years after it was initially promised.
Safe to assume it’s on merit only, not by seniority?

Seniority, but you have to have 2 years experience as a Swift captain to be eligible

There’s a bid out for CA/FO for CVG and GSO. But I think they’re trying to compliment with 3 street FOs since we can’t afford to pull more 737 pilots out.

Has the pay for the 767 been discussed, approved, announced?
Also, how is Swift planning to use these 767's? Charter, DOD, Cargo, Amazon??? I would guess that the type of flying would determine the type of schedule.

No rates yet.

I’m assuming DHL for CVG and GSO will most likely do any pax ops/VIP. So far still 12 off

Thank you ask for speaking freely about the work conditions here. I game been getting emails to upset my resume to possibly get an interview. It seems a bit tough at Iaero. I’m really hoping these are old war stories from years ago but can assume that they are not. Do you all fly immigrants back to their country or something?

Thanks Mexipilot84, sounds like classes may still be a month or two away for the 767 line pilots and new hires, if the initial class of instructors are still in class / sims now. Any idea how many crews per aircraft... 5 or 6 maybe?
