Should I have prefaced Lockout with illegal, or backdoor? I would like to thank YXnot for posting a passage from our contract. It clearly says that I can't be furloughed if our flying is subcontracted. About 270 of us are really on the street. I didn't quit or retire, wasn't fired, and my contract actually does adress the furlough/subcontracting issue. That leaves us with lockout, maybe not a legal one.
