This is perplexing to me. Derinda must certainly be familiar with the working agreement. It plainly says that the company may open or close domiciles anywhere, anytime without permission from the union.

"Section 13.2 Domestic Domicile Openings and Closings:"

"The Company may open new Domiciles at its discretion, however, a crewmember assigned to, or who has designated a domicile, cannot be involuntarily assigned to a different or new domicile, except as may be provided elsewhere in this agreement. The company agrees to provide 90 days written notice of new Domicile openings to the unioin and all crewmembers. The notice to the crewmembers may be sent via the comapny issued communications devices."

"13.2 (c)i: In the event that the company elects to close a domicile, 90 days written notice must be provided to the union and the affected domicile crewmembers. The notice...may be sent via company issued communications devices. Said crewmembers will be redesignated as home based airport crewmembers and shall have the right to designate the closed domicile as a HBA; provided it meets the HBA qualifying criteria listed..."

Can't understand why Derinda would say such a thing. Just remember, what Derinda tells you doesn't count...only the contract does.
