Piedmont Pilot Contract Violations - ALPA CBA

I've heard stories of Piedmont Airlines not following the ALPA contract. Has anyone else been in this situation? Were you able to resolve the problem, and was ALPA helpful?

Every airline will try and do that, especially with brand new FO’s. They know they aren’t up to speed on the contract and are still learning. Just be smart about your contract and they can’t get away with stuff.

If there's a catastrophic personal issue they'll work with you somewhat, but otherwise they don't give a 💩 what you've got going on in your personal life, you're expected to be at work outside of your minimum days off.

If you go in and expect to work your butt off while you're there fine, but don't go in expecting it to be this happy place where employees feel like they're cared about by management.
