If they filed an ASAP and were honest about what happened, why/how could they be fired especially with the union behind them?
The ASAP program loses its teeth when it is a non sole sourced event. I’m sure ALPA is going to go to bat for the captain, but the f/o was in probation, there is nothing that ALPA can do. Hopefully he lawyers up. I can’t inagine he’d want to come back after the way the company has treated him.
