If you keep flicking the switch, someone in HKG will go crazy from the lights going on and off
Was that a response to my post? No switch flipping here. I am just noting that the company doing a (-1) excess in every seat in the latest bid shows that the company knows how to stay three steps ahead of the union to do what they want. They, in effect, did a bump and flush. They know how to do end-arounds on our contract. So how do they get around the no-excessing-to-a-FDA part of the CBA? Furlough and immediate recall to HKG!!!! Trim 150 from the roster. Force the next 40-50 to HKG. Eliminate passover pay. All without having to sweeten the FDA pot!! Guys will have to chose going broke paying for private school and the rent in HKG, or their job. That is why we need a REAL expat package. You listening FE?
