But yeah, we know you came from the LRJET, its on the FAA site.

But just to confirm... you turned down several salaried corporate positions which all have a better QOL than swift offers....to be an F/O with no care to upgrade? So that means your either a lifer SIC or not qualified/desirable for a PIC job. Thanks for making Swift look like a place that houses the undesirablezzzzzz

im smelling what you’re cooking too.

Europe flying was a big selling point at the last job fair. Hope it works out for everyone involved.

just like a Movie Studio production, Airlines are great money laundering enterprises for those questionable revenue streams.

What does this have to do with Swift?

Isn't everybody complaining about Swift? Well there are options. This is one of them.

Pay raises are in finally in time for valentines.

There’s no official info on Europe yet, the only thing going around is the dry leasing of acft to smart wings for the summer. The Brookfield crap has been posted since the end of the last Europe deal. Things change way to fast around here. Next thing you’ll hear is no Europe and we’ll be somewhere else doing the same thing. Y’all need to wait till they make announcements. They’re not good with timing on it.

you have to read the fine print for a guy like me I wouldn’t see this pay raise until captain. Because they rolled that 25000$ bonus into the pay rate, so the only way to make more than the 63000$ is to work overtime, same as it’s been since I started,
