So, if Envoy has staffing issues (which they always seem to do during the Summer months), it isn't surprising they may take the position of just disregarding contractural provisions, doing what they want and worrying about it in a year or two.
Isn't that the crux of the LTFO grievance that from what I hear will pay scraps to people deliberately stiffed years ago who are STILL waiting for the scraps ? Pilots are now reporting that illegal JM's are occurring. It goes on and on. From the sound of it, the CBA gets violated there so often, it isn't even considered a contract anymore but a paper Collander for draining lettuce. This can't be Parker doing it as he doesn't bother himself with day-to-day Envoy issues.
My condolences for anyone willing to sign up for this type of treatment and even more so if they believe it is worthy of respect.
