Meant to respond to this but forgot - apols.

The aircraft orders are drying up so there is no future workload for manufacturing. Attempts to get orders have limited success. So what is the company supposed to do - just keep everyone on and ignore reality? Is that really what you are suggesting? It's just as well there are a few "clever suits with PCs" around to mitigate that sort of stupidity

You may feel differently - I take it you are a former CEO of Carrillion...

PS: On a purely pedantic point if the workforce was merely decimated it would only reduce manufacturing capacity by 10% because that's what "to decimate" actually means.
