Its illegal under EU law to get rid of staff on the bases of "last in first out".
4 days sick should not be a problem. The way most management will be looking at sickness and other performance issues will be seeing if there is a patern with your sickness over the years. eg. Every Christmas for the last 5 years you have been sick on 25 26 Dec.
Personally I don`t think it is unfair. We all know out there, there are guys and gals who should not be doing this job, been there for years they are becoming bitter and twisted....
I`ve been on the block now some 13 years, yes I`ve been with 3 airlines, held positions such as SEP,and Security Trainer, No1 for 10 years and now towards the bottom of the seniorty list....but am I inexperienced?
I know people are worried about jobs. Some scared, but if you done your job well, played the game by the rules, what you worried about. You have done your best.
I was made redundant because 1 airline I was with went into Liquidation. I went off and did jobs I fancied having ago at,I didn`t like them and after 6 month applied to the airlines again, and I`m back flying now 1 1/2 yrs.
Its all called life!
