I was wondering too if the company that hired and then fired the pilot after a week into training could be held legally liable. This seemed like a deceptive tactic and it cost someone their career. Truly a loss of wages situation? I've always kind of felt this way about an airline that calls back furloughs only to keep them for a month or so and then furlough them again. There should be a minimum pay period for anybody who comes to work for you in good faith that protects them from an employers inability to reasonably forecast their business needs.
