Yup I can see it now. I am sorry Mr PFE, but since you don't have a pilot rating, even though we gave you ten years notice to get one, you are not qualified to fly any equipment we have. So you can keep your job but you will have to move to White Plains, take a pay cut, and oh; we have some new equipment for you to operate. Are you qualified on the MKI br00m or the basic m0p? (note": not a comment on PFEs here - just a comment on the type of company we work for)
You are dreaming if you think any court, regardless of how the contract is written, is going to let you sit at home and draw pay until retirement age. You all had plenty of notice that the classics were going away and with a few exceptions you did nothing to qualify yourselves to continue with this company.
Course I never thought the obomonation could get elected either.
