I know of more than a few crewmembers that have utilized the hotline. Sad to say, but the FAA is now complicit in Swift's egregious actions,

Usually when panels/fairings come off in flight ...the damage is because maintenance forgot or used the wrong size screws or rivets...

Someone on another forum suggested it was a bird strike. I’ve had a few bird strikes over the years. Some resulted in quite a bit of damage. Not one resulted in a panel or a piece of sheet metal departing the aircraft. In every instance there was organic evidence in the form of guts or feathers that led to the culprit. But I wasn’t there so we can’t rule out a bird strike yet.

Heard a bunch on involuntary displacements are coming soon. Not many people want to move or commute to AEX or BRO....
A management tactic to reduce staffing?

Displacement bid is effective June 1st.

Creation of BRO AEX SAT LAS bases. Home basing cut in half.

A lot of people are taking the reduced guarantee leave.

They’re trying to cut costs on travel and hotels. They said they have not received any cares act money.
