They did this after 9/11 when they needed to park the Saabs. There were 125 pilots that were terminated. Many, if not all, were senior to the jet guys.
The union fought it and lost.
I understand the concept of being a first year f/o on probation as most of us were there at one point in our careers, but using that as a cost cutting measure....and out of seniority.....???
That's not very christian! I'm sorry but I'm in shock that a management team would do something so immoral.
The irony is that I always thought it was of great advantage to your company and you guys to have multiple certificates under the same umbrella.........so much for that.
Best of luck all the same to you guys, I hope you guys keep everyone.
