I'm disappointed to see a company that I care about make decisions that are not in the best interests of its employees. There are many companies out there that value their employees and treat them with respect.
I dont see how this is a surprise to anyone. Years ago we asked Mike G why the pay scales only went out to 5 years. Then they expanded them to make it seem more of a “career destination”. That’s cool but bottom line on the “fly fam”….its a business…and if you think you can’t be cut at the whim of a company (without some sort of contract protections etc), then you are crazy and I have some bridges to sell you in Arizona.
Even when I left them years ago, about 6 months after I left, they came knocking on my door for the 3 months of training contract I owed them and THEN told me I had a month to pay it back. No issue. I owed it and paid it buy my point is that it’s a business. There is no family anywhere. You are an asset, so this behavior isn’t surprising at all.
Good luck to anyone that still works there but I have to really question WHY you still work there.
