The company will not be paying the added training/retraining expenses for those already on line. There is a good bit of "behind the scenes" politics in play with this little fear campaign. The MOU is clear and those who came back under the MOU will not have a gun to their head.
Just a case of "better safe than sorry".
I'd take the XJ recall rather than rolling the dice on that one.
