I called payroll and they said that this was a "new interpretation" of the policy.
I guess this kind of stuff just pi$$es me off. Why all the sudden the new interpretation? I wish we had some solid, enforceable policies rather than these "agreements" we have now.
Interesting, I wonder why I haven't had this problem. I fly the SFO/PDX system all the time and it seems like cancelled flights are a daily occurrence this time of year. I have yet to have your scenario happen.
I do agree that we need a forcible contract. I am openly anti-union but I feel that in this industry unions are a necessary EVIL.
“AT WILL EMPLOYEMENT” doesn’t work in this industry. Never has & never will.
