yes but i bet he would have his job back today if he had a union to back him up and tell the company that they were out of line by not giving him an extension to get his fmla paperwork in. like H= 9 * (SQRT P) said, don't you think its interesting that skywest has fired more people than most of the other regionals combined??? without union protection you have nothing... and in a career where termination literally can mean the termination of your career,, i will gladly pay my 2%.
