Ok,so a union is not going to sort this out,what about your employee rep's? im sure the pilots in FR have one,the same guys who spent so much time and effort negotiating an excellent pay deal (
), were are they now,hiding under the covers? these shold be the guys going to the company and getting some clarification on exacly what forced unpaid leave is , 1 day,1 week or 1 month,and then talking to the pilots, they get paid to be a rep, so do some ef'in work.
