'Union Busting', looks like it.....
But if you are going to talk about support?
Then what about all the people that have shown their support by accepting promotions etc etc etc.....
Seems odd doesnt it...
If you accept a position with this airline as a S/O, then you are a 'SCAB' because you have taken the position of a sacked Captain, which is NOT OK!
BUT if you are an existing F/O, it is ok to fill the vacant slot left by the sacked captain by filling the vacant slot and in turn helping out the company! which is OK!
Union busting tactics or not by the company, I cant help but think that the hire freeze is ' a tad hypocritical'!!!!!
