No he’s gone back to his original position in safety. |
Not sure if anyone can answer. For new hires going to AEX or BRO after training. Where do you plan on staying since there’s no crash pads available at either cities. I live in CLT and I’d obviously commute. I’m just worried about day trips and not having no where to stay but a hotel, and hotels add up.

Creativity. In HRL one of the FOs has an apartment he rents out as a crashpad. Aex, some guys drove their trailers and live in them, some found rooms to rent, some do hotels. Until you know where you’re going you can always ask the pilots there about what they’re doing. |

It’s a pathway program, right now internally we don’t have anything for current pilots yet. The program is for southwest employees, military pilots and cadets(0 to CFI). The are selected by southwest and come work for us, flexjet or xojet for a pre determined time and then after a re-eval allowed to go class at WN.
What I was told is maybe in the future we would have access to southwest programs like their internal events which help you get triggered for interviews if you qualify. |

Actually they have hired quite a few, so that info is not factual. On the last round they selected 3 out of 5 swift pilots to go through the process through a special window it’s part of the 225 agreement. Outside of 225 they are still hiring swift pilots. Not to mention a big chunk that has left to the majors in the last 3-4 months. It’s a mutual use program, swift gets personnel to fly and give them experience and when ready they move up. The personnel they have picked are awesome pilots and really good people. Whether in the program or not they would be gone to a major before you knew it. |
And they went off the runway in Idaho,
The company partnered with Swift Air, also seen as Iaero Airways, to operate Boeing 737s between the two locations. It is part of the Caesars Rewards Air program. Iaero Airways operated the flight that slid off the runway on Saturday night. https://www.kwwl.com/news/waterloo/p...89210af86.html https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/276260 |

https://www.kwwl.com/news/waterloo/p...89210af86.html https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/276260 If flown on target with no float, 6,000’ is OK on a wet runway. Although, RWY 12 with 2,400’ more LDA is good insurance. No significant NOTAMs noted. |
