a) never believe rumours until they are confirmed in writing
A good principle GG, like most people, I have been a little guilty of that one, however the cabin crew member who was on the radio this morning claiming that the "unjustly fired ones" had all been re-instated is definitely wide of the mark.
The rumours I hear on line are so far off the mark its scary, if you think that the "CCM's are going to be reinstated in their OLD positions, you clearly have no idea how this airline works or what they are trying to achieve.
The reason you have not seen it in writing is that this company has some fairly stringent HR confidentiality rules and nothing can be disclosed until all appeals are over.
The CCM's and MCC's will as TD said right at the start, be allowed to apply for other jobs in the organisation, just not in service delivery.
Finally I believe, they were never sacked, just removed from their positions. This may appear to be semantics, but is on closer inspection quite different to being sacked
