How much money have you paid into B6Alpa who negotiated that raise?

This about settles it

he allegedly murdered his wife…but they could never find the body.

In many carriers much less. If you’re letting a long career view get blocked by a probation bonus differential of ten thousand dollars then really you were going to find a reason to leave. There’s plenty here and in other places. BTW look into when you start seniority in AA.

Seniority is assigned by age, the first day in class. What you mean is longevity for pay, which bumps on the training completion date. Obviously still BS, but people that had longer training wont go down on the seniority list.

JB hired A felon, at least that was what the discussion was. And he isn't there anymore, probably because his history came to light. We don't know if HR knew about him and dropped him when it became news, or if he was able to hide it from HR, my guess is option 2. A clean record is something probably 90%+ of airline applicants (should?) have. But "a couple of check ride fails" is definitely something that HR should be interested in, and not in a good way, depending on what/when was failed.

The felony conviction occurred greater than 10 years ago, and supposedly that’s why it slipped through the cracks. When it came to light, he was immediately removed from training. Then he had jetblue on the ropes, because despite being on probation, you still can’t really fire someone without some sort of cause. So, word is he got a huge payout to walk away (ie a couple commas).

Yeah, I really didn't think JB did anything wrong. Was more pointing out the snowflake attitude of windshear.

Why can’t you fire anyone just because you feel like it? If you run a business you should be able to fire anyone unless it’s due to race, disability, gender, orientation, religion, etc. How about I just don’t like someone in their job? How about a person is a convicted felon. That sounds like cause. How about lying on an application. That dude didn’t get anything I’m sure.

Sometimes I can't believe the things that I read on here. We are a union shop, with union job protections. The company can't just fire one of us because they don't like how you look today. That's one of the main points of a union.

You're assuming that he lied on his application. I don't think that's a safe assumption.

They can absolutely fire someone for cause. And if they don’t like how you look they can match your ip address to one of your flights.
