In reality, there is likely no protection to prevent job loss for involvement in the initiative. I do not know if the same can be said for helping to fight the loss in the courts - unjust dismissal.Cat Driver wrote:If some of the people who are starting this group are employees of aviation companies who are part of being responsible for the need to bring about changes, what protection do they have from losing their jobs?
Pilots who work for employers that would object to the extent of firing for participation, are likely the exact pilots who ultimately need the protection that the CPPC envisages.
But, assuming that the CPPC acquires the 50% membership of affected stakeholders - which doesn't seem far off considering they've got the majors on board already - Transport Canada approval will come. Then it won't matter what your employer thinks.
In the meantime, I agree that it may be a perilous path for someone who works for an "objecting" employer.
But some people are very brave.
