Only work 400 hours a year to keep your full medical insurance and benefits and they said no?
Wow
Hell most of them work 200 hours a month to make a living. So what’s wrong with working 2-3 months a year to keep full medical insurance?
Medical insurance isn’t cheap and the company has to stay profitable. That’s Kirby’s number one priority and he’s good at it .Paying health insurance for thousands of fa’s who aren’t working?? No bueno.That needs to change and I’m sure it will.Maybe some of the FA’s are being unrealistic with their demands.
I’m obviously missing something but just my $0.02
