It gets better, after they furlough these FA’s they are going to start recalling them as needed but to vacancies of the companies choice. Neat little contractual side step....The Alaska Airlines FA’s are the only reason we have won awards, have the strongest Mileage Plan in the business etc etc....As if saving on FA salaries and so on will make any difference. Classic Angle Lake Evil at work...Don’t think for a minute they wont be coming for us soon...
How can they do that? I don't know anything about the Flight Attendant contract, but this would seem to be a blatant violation. What is to stop Alaska management from doing the same thing to the pilot group?
