The appetite seems to be to spread the pain to carry everyone through the next few years. Will 20% go? I hope not, we would be looking at 900 to 1000 pilots.
to be honest I would prefer to be in employment at a heavy financial cost than to be redundant in this climate .
lots of rumours spreading about reduction in workforce , had a rather sobering update from the CEO yesterday which had a few hints that backed up the rumours .
Virgin has around 1000 pilots so I reckon 200ish will go , guess that’s the problem being a small fish in a big pond .......
feeling regret is a large understatement
