Nature of the beast sadly. Hopefully gets rectified, doubt if they keep growing they’d be able to keep up with all the paper work.

Our leadership has told us swift us applied for 10 more acft to the fleet with the DOT. Looks like 2 will be cargo birds for DHL out on the west coast.
Also looks like they’re going to explore adding wide bodies to the fleet. Talk of a330s in cargo and pax config. Not confirmed on type yet.
Probably starting DOD flying on last quarter which will be huge for the company.
ETOPs certification in the works.
As far as pay, was told to address it to our COO when he comes in 2 weeks or so to have a pilot meeting.

3 years ago Swift was to get a DHL contract with 1-2-3-4 freighters.
One freighter showed and there’s still no DHL contract.
2 years ago 76’s were to come, 76’s for everybody!
And now Airbus
I can see the MX logbooks already:

They weren’t able to get the 2nd acft out of Europe in time for the contract so DHL walked out. That was outside of swift control, but it happened.
Seems like a lot of focus onto cargo now.
