When I was at a non-union, DC-8 cargo carrier, we had the following things happen:

Homebasing was changed to a Miami base with two weeks notice.

Our 60 hour guarantee was eliminated with the same two weeks notice. We were then only paid on the basis of hard time.

Those who seemed to write up the planes were given fewer flight assignments. Those who would do anything were given more.

We were told that if we didn't like it, that we were free to give notice. Many captains (they were given advanced notice) walked. Others, myself included, continued to fly until we could find other employment.

Be careful about wishing for things. They may come true.
