Back to the origin of this thread.

This reminds me of 2008 when guarantees went to crap and excesses were on the horizon. The company began to cry about being overstaffed. What did they do? They immediately threatened to fire everyone who still held a furlough seniority number elsewhere. They're like a jealous trailer park boyfriend. "I'm dun with you Charlene but you ain't gettin' with no one else while I'm still breathin'"

Firing people who are trying to leave as you're telling them you don't need or want them is not a new low. It's a return to a previous low. It is also an ethical embarrassment on the part of Flight Management and HR.

If it was for security reasons the pilot would’ve been given severance pay and benefits. This was spite.

Default Hong Kong Four

Let’s not forget about the Hong Kong Four who were fired. FedEx used social media posts from Facebook against them.
