It makes me think the company may be reconsidering taking the grant money and putting most people on 50hr pay for April; they may want to take a much more draconian measure to conserve cash.
I actually took that email from the union to mean the opposite. To me, I got the vibe that the union was basically saying “If you’re planning to roll the dice and bid reserve, not fly and get paid 75hrs to sit at home instead taking a 50hr COLA, you may find yourself actually having to work more than you thought”. I could be completely off, but it sounded like the company was more solid than ever in their decision to take the grant.
Also, the revised bid notice states that awards will post “No later than 1700 Denver Local April 20, 2020”. They still have five and a half hours to post.
