They want it both ways...they want to drop us at a moments notice (i.e. current classes sent home), and then have us instantly drop what we are having to commit to when and if they ever call. What if they call in 12 months? 18 months? 24 months? Is there still a list that long? Who knows...i'm not holding my breath.
If I'm reading your posts correctly, it seems like you're not even on property yet. Look around you dude, policies are changing daily around the industry. What was current yesterday may not be current info this morning. I highly doubt that moving forward once this all clears up that JB is going to stand by a policy that was created during a booming time in the industry. If you don't like the policies and/or procedures that a future employer (JB in this case) has in place, then I'm sorry to say maybe this place isn't for you, or to look elsewhere since it's entirely you're choice. I'm the last person to be a company cheerleader but you're acting as though they own you something, while many are volunteering for reduce pay or unpaid lines in order to keep the ship afloat.
I get that you and others in class might be frustrated, but most people are just hoping to have a job at this point. If this is your attitude before you even get on property, I'd hate to see you 6 months in.
