I'm assuming the guys who had their badges pulled are being pay protected, right?...
Not that I agree with the situation, but the airport is within their rights to pull the badges for whatever they see as just cause. At the end of the day, AA's just a tenant and they're the landlord. The fact that they're holding to their guns is BS, but it is their real estate and therefore their liability...
I don't recall which airport it was, but a gazillion years back, there was an employee who was behind on parking tickets with the city -- the city owned and operated the airport, so they decided to revoke his badge in the security system.... After he paid his tickets, he got his badge reactivated....
The real problem is that a letter between DFW and AA that was written in violation of our contract, allowed the DFW Airport VP(non-AA employee--non-FAA) to revoke our airport badge in the event any runway incursion regardless of the circumstances.
