I know. That said, I did receive a 1099 (non-employee compensation) for my time in training.
I don't mean to imply that at all, just stating the facts as they stand. All of my dealings with the training department have been positive; the instructors and check airmen are not management's "axe men."

The question (rephrased for technical accuracy) still remains:
If the pilots strike, or if Omni initiates a lockout but continues training, will the people in ground school face the choice of being scabs for attending class or, even though they can't technically be fired since, technically, they have not yet been hired, having their training terminated (the result of which is identical to that of being fired) for not attending? Not that scabbing is actually a choice.
Will these people be included in any back to work agreement? Will the 1224 go "to the mat" for them if it comes down to it?

I personally think the Teamsters would fight to maintain your status with the company.

Look at it this way, if your in training, or on the line, the end result on your pay check is the same if a strike happens, it disappears until an agreement is reached.

Insctructors won't be around to teach class while on strike. 777 school is taught by boeing instructors for now. If the big O wants to give you a type, then by all means let them pay for what ever they want. Turn an engine on an Omni aircraft during a work action and then you will be considered a SCAB. I don't know if this is the union's official position, but I wouldn't have a problem with it. Like people have said, you are not an employee until you pass your PC or 2 months of training have been reached.
