The company gets to decide WHERE the relocation incentive will be offered (hint: its DTW), not IF it is offered. SP3022.

Now, the company doesn't have to offer an incentive until the end, but if you don't bid out voluntarily you MUST be offered a relocation incentive.
Per federal law they can't make you commute or move against your will. The base closing is a reduction of force per the law and would be treated as such.

I just can't shake the trip.
I'd be willing to bet that if your trip was that bad, you are not the only one who has issues with the individual in question.

I mean, is ORD a base for all three, or just UA and AA?

Its a ua and aa base. We do flying for all partners. Meaning dl pairings probably start with a leg to a dl hub like msp or dtw

Does the fact that SK is closing IAH and not paying relocation incentive by reinterpreting our policy make anyone else wish we had a concrete, legally enforceable contract? Seems like every airline out there feels that they can just screw over their workforce that actually moves passengers and just reward their executive management.

Guess we will all know when a true pilot shortage is going on when companies have to do things to keep employees vs driving them away.

They Will pay relocation incentive. If you're force out at the end.

Look at BH's update on the forums. They are making it sound like they will not pay relocation in hopes that people will voluntarily transfer out. If you do that, they don't have to pay relocation. As it stands right now, they have agreed to pay relocation for 2 pilots. So you're right. If there are only 2 pilots left when they shut down IAH, then every pilots that is forced out will get paid.

Don't take the bait. Stay till the end.

It's exactly why they started with "losing flying, lines shrinking"

by lowering the qol they hoped more people would transfer out chasing a line and losing the incentive.
