This whole thing is just BS. We NEED those pilots on property. We are certainly not properly staffed on the Freedom side, and I doubt we are on the Mesa side as everything I try to swap gets denied.
WARN act only protects against mass lay offs. I don't believe 100 pilots (7-10%) meets the criteria. Interestingly enough, everyone has always said that PBS reduces your staffing requirements by about 5-10%.
