How about we use that clause in ALL of the pilots contracts about letting people go from the bottom of the ASL, as per the design of the contract.
We are all party to that redundancy clause as the contract is between the pilot and CX/Basing company.
It was blatantly acceptable when the contract was offered/signed, so why are we avoiding it now?
Yes, it is not pleasant for those let go, but it could have happened to any or all of us at the beginning of our time here. That is what seniority is.
