But again, if you are going about what a friend told you about them being fired, I doubt you heard the whole story.
I'll spell it out for you:
Do you have a union?
No
Do you have a contract?
No
Do you have an MOU providing protections from punitive action?
No
For it to be an effective ASAP, you have to have GUARANTEED protections not just from certificate action, but from punitive action. As I mentioned before I've met two very nice people fired from skywest for something that elsewhere would have been protected by both the union, and the contract under ASAP.
