No FAs were forced to move or quit for the AEX base, they simply hired a bunch of the ex World Atlantic FAs who were there anyway. So far, pilots are TDY in AEX, I think that will remain for the foreseeable future.

I'm not sure about the EAL deal falling through, it wouldn't surprise me if that was the case but it seems that the intent is to have 4-5 NGs on the property by years end if they don't come from Eastern they will come from somewhere else.

Again, it seems that there are going to be some big changes coming to Swift including pay, schedules, basing and a bunch of other things it's just a matter of time and I guess the question is will they implement these changes sooner or later?

Until you realize the only people left for you to hire are unfit for any customer service position that requires any common sense.

I totally agree. However, management does not see their value as front line employees.

Couldn't have said it any better! Plenty of FAs to hire in MIA to replace everyone.

Ok thanks again gentlemen. So how does one that is type rated get their application on top of the pile, if there is a pile?

What is the DOH of the junior captain.

Send it to the email and hopefully G man calls you right away. Most junior capt is a 3/16 hire. He was a street captain though. Rumor is no more street captains according to CP.

Is Boris still DO over at Swift?
He is responsive, or was when I worked for him 10-12 years ago.
