Pilots turned down American's last and final contract offer, with a 61 percent of those that voted. According to A.P.A.’s former president, ratifying the tentative agreement would have been the best course for the pilot members, for the pilots could face stricter terms should the judge overseeing American's bankruptcy allow the airline to end its current contract with the union. Union organizers claim this decision by the pilots shows they have not forgotten that several years ago, with bankruptcy looming for the airline, all employee groups chose to sacrifice pay and benefits to keep American Airlines solvent.

It is assumed WestJet does not want to hire competitor employees because their work ethic is so off from what WestJet has portrayed in their work force.

They needed to fin a location that would be profitable in fixed costs and in somewhat of an urban area with a higher population for potential customers. Through months of statistical analysis they decided to focus in Ontario. Hamilton is a town in Ontario that didn’t have any commercial airlines stationed.
According to Citizen Schwarz Ag (C-S), Span Systems did not deliver on schedule and more to that, the quality of the deliverables were substandard with bugs in the testing stage. Citizen Schwarz Ag (C-S) therefore requested immediate rescission of the contract and release of the code. However sensible this might have been to them, Span systems had delivered over 50% of the deliverables therefore it would be breach of contract if the contract is cancelled. Citizen Schwarz was too concerned with the deliverables but it did not take into account the entire new user and system requirements that had changed over time causing delivery slips. The new changes have been difficult to accommodate within the existing budget and timeline.

Unquestionably, the decision to change the schedule of production staff was made by managers and directors with no direct knowledge of, and perhaps without consideration of, any employee’s religious affiliation or needs. Based on Walker Toy Company’s policies and procedures to comply with EEOC guidelines, a reasonable person may also agree that management felt this was not an important consideration, as they could have easily made accommodations in line with Title VII if Mrs. Miller had made her needs known. The reasonable person test is pervasive in case law as a factor in determining whether the employee’s resignation was reasonable. The case of Barrow v. New Orleans Steamship Ass’n (1994), established that certain factors are significant in determining constructive discharge: “(1) demotion; (2) reduction in salary; (3) reduction in job responsibilities; (4) reassignment to menial or degrading work; (5) reassignment to work under a younger supervisor; (6) badgering, harassment, or humiliation by the employer calculated to encourage the employee's resignation; or (7) offers of early retirement on terms that would make the employee worse off, whether accepted or not." This case supports my recommendation to litigate because Mrs. Miller was not subjected to any of these tactics, nor does she make any claims that any of these tactics were used toward her.
