The penalty is currently they have to use one of their personal days, and there is the ability to make that day up by being scheduled on an alternative day (presumably on a different aircraft). Additionally, their union is working to get that requirement waived. So if the union can get their penalties waived, should we expect passengers can get their change fee waived?
