To be more precise: Swoop flying will be done by Swoop pilots AND Westjet pilots.
The whole argument to date is that there are no Swoop pilots and those hired into the positions were employed against the previous agreement. With the latest remarks from the MEC and WestJet, it confirms there are no Swoop pilots. Swoop flying will be done by WestJet pilots. Therefore, those who were hired will either need to find work elsewhere or will be placed at the bottom of the department list. That position on the list may not permit a pilot hired at Swoop to hold a 737 position in the case of a position bid system that includes Encore.

Considering Encore begins negotiations soon, it might be a while before a pilot hired for Swoop has a clear idea of how things will go.
