Bet this wouldn't have happened if the union vote went the other way.

That should tell you something. If the management team is that vengeful, then they are a company that needs a union.

Isn't it Silvestros world?

I hate so say that this may be politics, but when ever a union and company wage a war, the pilots will typically lose at the hands of bureaucracy and politics

Yes.

Common denominator.

Sorry to hear that. Were they on the fleets mentioned last week - the Lear 40 and Challenger 604/604? Thank goodness there are other opportunities out there. No doubt your experience would be valued. And airlines are hiring if people want to pivot.

If this isn't an obvious reason for a union (ie seniority protection) I don't know what is....

Today's Weekly Announcment says the FLOPS furloughees were offered a 12 month severeNce package that was not accepted.

Can anyone shed some light or details about this?
