It doesn't surprise me that they are pulling this stunt. But they aren't the only ones doing it. United is trying to reclassify many of their ground support positions as "part time" now, which will reduce their pay rate and eliminate their employee benefits. Total scumbag move! In any case, moves like this certainly violate the spirit of the act which was to protect worker's paychecks at least until October.
I'd say to hit up your ALPA representatives and ask them to resist this, but I'd be willing to bet that most of them won't be hit by the downgrades.
