Because I didn’t answer the DO phone call they terminated my employment and called it job abandonment because I was sick and wouldn’t fly. I didn’t abandon the job I spoke to the chief and operations daily. They put abandonment in the PRD. Does this sound legal? I didn’t abandon the job, I called in and spoke to them daily.
Jeeze, what scumbag operator was this? That’s a rhetorical question, but I’m assuming it’s a 135 shop. It blows my mind of the dirty tricks aviation companies continue to try to pull these days.
