They gave us 8 weeks' pay as severance, which is about the general penalty for violating the WARN act. They may have just paid the fine and called it a day. Also, it was prominently noted to us that this was not a furlough, it was straight layoffs. No expectations to return.

How management goes home without a conscience is just all beyond.🤬
The problem with this is the majority of us are 1200-1400 hour guys for whom this was the first job outside of the CFI and Part 91 world. A lot of scrambling going on to try and get 1500 to be able to hop somewhere else. Appreciate your sentiments.
