2. The Union has said this is a blatant contractual violation. And they are looking into the others and possibly making this into a Class Action violation. Now the company is in contract negotiations right now. And I was told by the Union the mostly likely outcome is the Company will stall until is comes time to sign a new pilot contract and the company will say they will sign when all of the grievousness are wiped clean.
3. Out of the total of 13 legs, 3 were less than two hours, and the rest were 4 hours
4. What the Union said my resignation has no effect on getting my job back. Now do I really want to work for a company like this?
5. I still have the ability to fly the C12/BE200 for the military so I will just concentrate on that until the next RTAG convention.
I have a feeling I know which company is doing this to you. Their training department SUCKS over there, if it’s the company I’m thinking of. They railroaded my buddy after some really terrible instruction (we were sim partners, both retired Army guys) so I saw it happen first hand. He never made a single excuse for getting put out to pasture, but I saw how he was treated. Glad I no longer work there.
