It seems that would be reasonable grounds for a DFR conflict and subsequent lawsuit, especially in light of the fact that Whiteford's signature on that letter was done without a vote from the MEC much less the pilot group on the whole. I always thought major economic implications were required to be voted on by the membership?
Has there been any background noise about a lawsuit from the furloughees? From what I've read here it sound like one feces sandwich after another for those at the end of the UAL list. Gettingbumped mentioned the word criminal. Sounds accurate.
Yes, there was a class action lawsuit filed. I talked with one of the attorneys and he was adament that the furlough group was disadvantaged. Of course, the judge dismissed the case on merit.
