I wonder if the MEC wanted to exclude the furloughs to get the maximum payout for the rest. Not accusing just questioning.
I've been thinking about that since I heard the news. Unbelievable. I had been off property for nearly three years and got more than $5k, plus bennies through 2017. All of it just for resigning a seniority number that gave me less than zero hope for any future with Comair.
Hearing that recent furloughs are not eligible, especially only 30, seems pretty hard to swallow. Things that make you say, "hmmm."
