Lets get a few facts clear -
All BA Managers (with the exception of Pilots in management roles) were sent the letter offering the voluntary redundancy package. The letters were not targetted at all.
The proportion of managers who have agreed to volunteer for severance obviously varies from department to department. In some areas it is the complete management team.
The new interim management stucture will be announced next week with the remaining managers slotting into roles they are suitable for. If there are roles not filled, the company will be looking outside for candidates.
Don't compare BA with EZY. As stated above longhaul network airlines do require more management than shorthaul point to point. Also some airlines describe managers in a different way so it can be difficult to compare airlines' management to aircraft ratios without looking carefully at the proportions of insourcing/outsourcing and whether a carrier is primarily domestic or international. While BA is clearly top heavy in management, straight comparison is difficult.
