might want to think that over....

Looks like all the eastern pilots from the last class ( started in september) are on full pay while sitting at home doing nothing. While the rest of us cant get a holiday, or personal time off. Whats wrong with that picture. Most, if not all of the people hired in september have not even started their operating experience training....

Where did you get that information from? Full pay starts first day of OE. Any of us that have not started OE is on training pay, hoping to get on the line soon to start making regular pay. Would you like to sit at home doing nothing and make next to nothing? Would much rather be working and making some money.

Does it make you feel good to talk so much bs? You have no idea what you are saying. You need to check your sources before talking.

My source says there is a manual called Flight Crew Addendum at Swift.

Chapter 3.4.A2 SAYS...

"PILOTS FLIGHT PAY WILL BEGIN ON THE FIRST DAY OF OE TO PERFORM THE DUTIES OF HIS/HER ASSIGNED CREW POSITION BUT IN NO CASE LATER THAN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE SUCCESSFUL PROFICIENCY CHECK."

HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU HAVE SITTING AROUND THAT HAVE PAST 30 DAYS SINCE THEIR PC....WHILE SCHEDULING, AND THE CHIEF PILOT IS BEGGING / PLEADING FOR PEOPLE TO SELL VACATION, DAYS OFF, ETC.

Your post on the 21st stated that the EAL pilots are all sitting around collecting. I know ALL the EAL pilots that went to Swift, heck I trained a few. I don't know 1 that is sitting around "Collecting" that has not started or completed OE.

Wish I was sitting around collecting pay! Most of them are online. 2 were requals and have been flying for most of the fall. Others have been doing OE or awaiting CA obs. They’ve definitely been pumping them out as quickly as possible. Seems like all the sep class is online and most of October is done.

If you know all of them, call and ask them. Then you will have accurate information.

MEXI, again wrong. People from the class prior to September are just now starting IOE. Have a look at the schedule they put out today. Look at the bid for November, any people from Aug, Sept, classes on it - not talking about the people who were unfortunate to have to return to this mess - but the new names that are on the schedule, are from the class prior to September. Meanwhile people are being pressured to work, sell vacation, etc....

Swift need to slow down, get the house in order before further expansion.
