Skysook,
No doubt the employee would have signed a contract knowing the terms and conditions of the cap.
A contract is between both parties, therefore each has their own responsibilities. The employer is responsible for correctly applying the cap and then executing it by actually releasing 10% of the pilots. Please note, that awarding a position and actually releasing a person is two very different things.
I believe the EBA has expired, therefore the cap should be deemed expired.
Nevertheless, at the end of the day if you look after your employees they will run the company for you. I believe this is a Branson quote.
