I feel really bad for the new hire pilots now in ground school. With the Cuba flights banned by the U.S. government, in the next 60 days. Swift will not need Pilots for the12 airplanes based in Miami. Perhaps will need to layoff at least 50 to 60 Pilots in the next 60 days, when the ban takes effect. Those new hires, or currently in ground school, will not get past IOE. Hopefully the recruiters at Swift will be straight with these people, and not lie to them. At least let them keep their current jobs. Not quit to come to Swift, then laid off before even getting the free 737 type.

Don’t despair... Your Sales Team... its all up to the sales team to replenish the schedule for the upcoming nixing of the Cuba flights.

I very much doubt there will be any furloughs, their eggs are in many baskets by design.
