[QUOTE=unitedcop30;900396]Left handed - the way out recall rights work at United is like this...they go down the list once...you either come back when they call or not. If you don't come back you still have the right to for 10 years from your furlough date. You just call them up and tell them you're ready to come back...the only catch is they have to be actively hiring at that time. If Spirit had something like this I'm sure your furloughs would like it much better, than this immediate December 1 class call they got.QUOTE]
Wow, that is quite different from our CBA.
I too have read the email, and even though some facts are wrong, I have to agree with Scott. She needs to look at and follow her contract. I think we already have too many people here that want to have their cake and eat it too. Too many people have seniority numbers somewhere else, and want to have this in their back pocket just in case. Several have now gone back to thier previous carriers and held onto a seniority number here also. That is no fair to the great majority of us that don't have a backup. If she really has a great job like she has stated, she should stay there and buy an airplane. If she loves this job, then come back but do it as part of the team. We are a very small airline, and everyone knows everyone. I would suggest to her that she is getting a reputation already for herself for going around the chain of command. I would imagine that anyone who flies with her will be worried that they will be called in for a carpet dance without any disscussion from her, subject to her whims on that day. She has already shown that she does not abide by the contract (or she wants the company to not). Our union furlough guy has done a good proactive job in keeping everyone informed, and she should not have been caught by surprise on this.
