Fact or Fiction? Saw this post on another web site... I was surprised it wasn't here first.
"It's has been confirmed our travel benefits are changing.... Worse than we all thought... Here's the story... This is fact. I do not comment until I know the facts and prove it's not a rumor... Two weeks ago the flight attendant supervisors, Chief pilots and ground supervisors had a meeting with Skywest personal. The meeting was about the change in travel benefits. At the meeting they were all told that ASA team members traveling on delta will be a S3C. We all expected this but they were also told them that we will be S3C's on ASA also. So we will be bumped on our own airline.... the reason given is because delta owns our seats not ASA or Skywest.. In this meeting they were also told that we will get 4 buddy passes a year instead of the 8 we get now and that we have to choose between our parents or companion to be on our travel benefits. You, guys that are married luck out and can have your spouse and parents. Also at your yearly anniversary you will need to pay $50 to activate your PPR card and travel benefits.
THIS INFO WAS MADE PUBLIC FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS. MANY FA'S AND PILOTS THAT HEARD THIS RESIGNED. SO THE SUPERVISORS AND CHIEF PILOTS GOT A E-MAIL AND FAX SAYING TO STOP TELLING EVEYONE ABOUT THE CHANGE. THEY WERE TOLD TO TELL ANYONE THAT INQUIRES ABOUT THE CHANGES THAT IT IS STILL IN NEGOTATIONS AND THEY DON'T KNOW ANYMORE INFO... THEY WERE TOLD THAT WITH THAT MANY PEOPLE QUITING IN THAT SHORT OF TIME THEY WOULD BE VERY SHORT STAFFED FOR THE HOLIDAYS. THEY WERE ALSO SCARED MANY FA'S WOULD CALL IN SICK AROUND THE HOLIDAY'S. ALSO THEY WERE TOLD THAT THE ANNOUNCENT WOULD BE MADE THE 1ST WEEK IN JANUARY AND THAT THE CHANGES IN BENEFITS WOULD TAKE EFFECT THE MIDDLE OF JULY. DON'T YOU THINK IT'S WEIRD THAT WE HAVE TWO TRAINING CLASS OVERLAPPING THIS MONTH. THIS IS ALSO THE SAME MONTH THAT THEY ARE ASKING CURRENT FA'S TO TAKE TTOWP IN ATL. LOOKS LIKE THEY EXPECT SOME FA'S TO QUIT SOON.
I thing everyone is hearing the same rumors."
