SwiftAir out of Phoenix just furloughed 9 guys, and many not even in seniority order.. go figure? And here I thought 135's were taking over the world!

Exactly, how many 135 operations have contracts? Anyone know of any?

there is no contract at swift except the one you sign for them when you get a type rating.

The guys who were furloughed NOT in seniority order sure do.
Probably some of the same guys who used to tell the frac guys that a union would be the end of us.
