I've attended training and just prior to completion, have been sent home due to a change in the program. When that happened to me, I was offered no compensation, no ongoing wage, no promise of return, and not offered a different aircraft.
Are you saying that Omni didn't keep these guys on their training wage, didn't offer them openings with other ATSG companies flying the same type, didn't offer them the first opening in either a 767 or 777, and hasn't brought those back who wanted to return, with the upcoming June class? Is all that untrue?
There's no question that to let a class go hours before their checkride is low-class, and a ****-poor business decision, but then didn't the man who make that decision admit as much? Didn't he say he knew it was a bad choice, and he knew it would hurt the company, but that it was his decision and that he was going to do it anyway? Or is that untrue, too?
Atlas gives full pay and employee rights under contract (still probation one year) from day one as do all the majors. Atlas sends many classes home for 4-6 weeks in training do to sim availability usually after the oral but you know your coming back. This was pretty low and I hope Union is looking at getting "training pay" removed and make employees fir st day, seems like industry standard now. Even Nicholas Air is doing this with no Union.Originally Posted by JohnBurke
