So pardon my ignorance, but wouldn't the teamsters have a pretty good leg to stand on for legal action if they try to get away with it????
Someone please educate me on this, cause it just doesn't seem possible to me!
First year you pay dues but aren't protected since you are on probation. The company can "no longer require your employment" for any reason they see fit. With the massive hiring boom that has taken place there's no reason they'll ever have to furlough. They can just FIRE the FOs on the certificates they need since there are plenty moved around.
Hey guys I'm all about optimism but yall are forgetting one thing. If a codeshare goes into BK then all bets are off just like with Frontier. If AMR and United go BK, though I don't see how United could really survive it, they can simply cancel all contracts. CAL's recent deal with XJT could be incentive for them to declare BK and drop CHQ. I know we'd all like to think we're safe but lets not kid ourselves. It's time to just kick back and watch the show.
