I‘m glad we didn’t turn people out onto the street who already had class dates. Allowing them to stay & go through training as scheduled is an honorable move.
This is the same management team that went to court and filed a restraining order against the pilot group after dragging out negotiations for 3 years in the most profitable period in airline history. They’re doing this because new hire pilots are cheap labor and it costs them less to get a senior CA to bid a 50 hour no fly line, or better yet take an unpaid leave of absence. I’m glad they’re honoring the class dates that were offered but let’s not pretend they’re doing it out of the kindness of their hearts.
