Saw something similar happen some years ago:
April 94 class with Tower Air:
We were well into ground school, probably 2 weeks or so.
Friday afternoon just as we were done for the day, 8 or 9 guys were told to stay behind.
The rest of us went to the hotel and hit the bar.
An hour later the 8-9 guys showed up, they had just been fired as the results of the background checks came in that day.
I saw grown men cry that evening. Cruel and ****ty as some guys had already quit their previous jobs and at the time Tower Air was a good gig, decent pay, quick upgrades, etc.

Saw the same nonsense when I was a union steward at Amerijet a long time back. Same clowns in same management positions to this day. Had a guy give a two week notice in Lima, and was promptly fired, with no way of getting home. Other guys were denied insurance claims, as AJT claimed they were retroactively terminated. Strange days, but a dollar is a dollar to their CEO, so sue them. He knew those people were so eager to wash the dirt off themselves after leaving that they would never take legal action.

Get your union involved immediately if there is a PRIA issue and get it fixed. The carrier of choice today doesn't mean it will be a few years from now.

Honestly I should have known better. Should have just waited until the last day and then said I quit. Only way to deal with these jerks...
