And it would seem to follow that if your PWA has zero contractual language with regard to an issue or happening that you don't get to grieve it on the plus side, if you are able.to establish standing without contractual language, you stand a much better chance of getting an arbitrator's decision overturned. I take it your previous airline had no furlough protection language
Well if you don’t understand my post then I’m not sure what the point of your original response was. People complain about the supposed inadequacy of furlough protection language and yet I would contend that the mere existence of such language gives a group the ability to argue the merits of their case. No language generally means no arguments, or a greatly diminished argument.
My pilot group did in fact have furlough protection language.
