As a trainee I don’t know if you are even afforded the 30 days notice required by the PPM.
But as always, hoping for the best.
My understanding is that trainees are receiving not much, but some pay and benefits. If that’s the case and they are on the payroll I would assume they would require a formal WARN notice given it’s a legal requirement. I’m not 100% sure though. I do think that OO won’t furlough trainees unless they decide to furlough a portion of the pilot group. Keeping trainees on reduced pay hardly costs the company money in the grand scheme of things.
