A Swift Air Boeing 737-400, registration N420US performing flight WQ-1996 from Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) to Miami,FL (USA), was climbing through FL220 out of Santo Domingo when the crew decided to return to Santo Domingo due to an engine (CFM56). The aircraft landed safely back in Santo Domingo about 40 minutes after departure.

TRUTH about how miserable life is being employed here, and why employee turnover is so high.( Don't worry I AM ALMOST OUT... I know that's coming )
TRUTH. About the Payroll Department. If it's been happening for the last 3 years, it MUST be intenional.
TRUTH. About how they were able to show an unheard of, 25% profit margin, when they sold the company to iAeroGroup.
Hopefully iAeroGroup can and will
" HELP THOSE RESPONSIBLE FIND OTHER SUITABLE EMPLOYMENT "
But then, what they got from the sale, they can retire comfortably.

First off, what kind of “CEO” has all his kids working at various entry level jobs throughout the company? Are they not qualified enough to find work elsewhere or is this a ‘family’ business with quarterly bonuses? And how is Boris on the seniority list when he doesnt have a 737 or even an Embraer type rating? Guarantee you thats an alibi of sorts. The same way studios put actors in “producer” roles in order to pad the payroll. Hell he uses a personal credit card to pay for all the deadhead air travel!
Secondly, think of the type of scumbag you have to be in order to sell flights on the $hittiest aircraft in North/Central/South America and profit while the planes are falling apart, the customers are unhappy, employee attrition is expected/maintained and compensation is variable with a slush fund for those individuals that “play ball”-managed by two of the most corrupt and incompetent screw schedulers to grace the 121 scene!
It really makes you wonder how little they think of you when they smile in your face and allow this stuff to keep happening. They keep reelin in the hits with the 119’s. Speaking of 119’s...how’d Jeff90 know to reply about the engine issues on 420 in SDQ? I guess he’s just “in the know” huh? All this speculation is making my butt itch.

I've heard that situation before. It's just the indicator. But at that moment know one knows it's the indicator so you have to treat it as the real thing.
Now if you're flying the plane after you know it had an indicator issue and treat it like an indicator then either you dont follow the rule of you have to treat it like the real thing or you know they didnt change the indicator which means you're flying a broke plane.

You know what industry standard practice labels that? “NORMALIZATION OF DEVIATION”. To you, it’s labelled ‘no big deal’, ‘just an indicator’. Seems very presumptuous, especially for someone at the top to figure out the event without knowing whats wrong. Par for the course.
Hey, what would you do if the crew said they didnt want to fly the aircraft with this errant and historical indication? Would they be penalized or pressured to take it?
Weve all flown these planes, we know whats wrong with them, and we know what the company turns a blind eye to. Keep revealing the deviance. It’ll help.

You act like we fly stuff half working and don’t report it. Maybe you do but I don’t and haven’t met a person that does. If it’s not working it’s a legal MEL and we review during the brief prior to push. And yes indicator is no big deal, a big deal is he purposely torched an engine for no reason. It has since been inspected and fixed so what’s your deal?

Can I get that on a recording please?
Swift is just like Southwest right?
