If you stand up and ask them to follow the contract you get fired.
If you get sick and have to use the medical coverage you will be fired.
If an FA comes out publicly in favor of a union he/she will be fired.
If an FA is severely injured during a demo when the tow bar breaks during a pushback he will be (was ) fired (check FA who worked tail off).
No trip rigs, you will work every day they own you just to meet minimums. A few senior guys might work a little less.
Ruthless bosses.
I am looking at this from outside for now, but I am definitely missing something: they pay $8000 to hire you, spend maybe 20 to 30k to train you and they will fire you so easily when they can't even fill classes? Very strange!
