All of the 40 Swoop captain seats (including the 26 bypass captain pay positions) were filled internally by WestJet pilots. There were 24 (I believe) FO positions that were not filled by WestJet mainline pilots (I mean why would you bid to make less money for more hours). But there is an Encore (Q400 WestJet regional) bid that is supposed to close on Thursday. If all the Swoop FO positions are not filled by Encore pilots Swoop can hire off the street. I am guessing they will be filled internally though.
So if there remain any open FO positions they would be pulled from the Swoop pool.

cheers
