He was forced to bump other employees and work in different cities to stay with NWA. The timing of a return to Minneapolis depended on NWA’s needs for mechanics in that city as well as the choices of other mechanics also subject to the seniority system. Mr. Wilbert’s wife, petitioner Rebecca Rose Wilbert (Mrs. Wilbert) stayed in Hudson, Wisconsin, at the family residence while Mr. Wilbert worked in Chicago, Anchorage, and Flushing.
