The employees are suing the owners of WG related to "irregularities" with the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). A quick web search of "Western Global Airlines ESOP" will give you a good idea of what's going on.
WG operates using 121 Supplemental rules with duty days up to 30 hours long and 350 hours of flying allowed in 90 days. You can fly 115 hours during your 17 duty days and get zero overtime. Zero credit for deadheading......in middle seat economy class.
WG has a strict policy that prevents employees from being forthcoming on social media. The cheerleading posts from management stooges seem to be encouraged, but it's difficult for line pilots to offer honest opinions if it can be viewed as negative in any way. The stuff written here is not a balanced view of what's going on at WG.
Welcome to APC. First post and already angry. Kinda giving yourself away on who you are. Not too hard to figure out. Your post is certainly interesting and very “balanced”. I will now go to WGA management and ask for permission to interact on social media. In the meantime fire away, let it all out !
