Also the last thing your management will do is give pay and benefit improvements to all pilots at Eagle. They will give bigger and bigger bonuses to new hires in order to fill classes.
Apparently the language concerning reserve turn backs was not as cut and dry as we thought it was. The courts don't just side with the company because they hate pilots, we'll have to wait for the ruling but there was an obviously an argument the company could have made there.
