represented by the Union and thus violated its status quo obligations under 45 U.S.C. § 156.
2. Horizon has engaged in bad faith, surface bargaining by going through the motions of
bargaining without any desire to reach agreement. In so doing, it has failed to exert every
reasonable effort to make and maintain agreements and, thus, violated 45 U.S.C. § 152, First.
3. Horizon has dealt directly with newly hired pilots, bypassing their Union representative.
Doing so violates 45 U.S.C. §§ 152, Third and Fourth.
The Court accordingly ORDERS Horizon, its officers, agents, and representatives SHALL:
1. Restore the lawful status quo, embodied in the 2012 and 2016 CBAs, and prevailing prior to
Horizon’s unlawful implementation of new hire bonuses in January 2017 and prior to
Horizon’s unlawful implementation of tuition reimbursement in or about September 2017;
2. Cease and desist from violating the terms of the 2012 CBA and the prevailing, established
practices regarding training programs and compensation;
3. Adhere to the terms of the 2012 CBA—and, upon its effective date, the 2016 CBA—and
status quo working conditions unless and until those terms are altered with the Union’s
consent through Section 6 bargaining;
4. Refrain from interfering with, influencing, coercing, or discriminating against the Horizon
pilots represented by the Union;
5. Exert every reasonable effort to make and maintain agreements with the Union, including as
to training programs and compensation, through the lawful procedures set forth in Section 6
of the RLA;
6. Conspicuously post copies of this Court’s order at Defendant Horizon’s headquarters, crew
room locations, and flight operations facilities for a period no less than one-hundred eighty
(180) days;
7. Provide a copy of this Court’s order to every Horizon pilot covered under the 2013 CBA, by
email and certified mail at their most current addresses of record, to ameliorate the effects of
Defendant Horizon’s unlawful conduct on these pilots’ rights under the RLA.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
