But why would you accept a VR ?
The money will be less than CR and you forfeit guaranteed right of return
Think Keg is incorrect in thinking that a sliding scale can be offered which targets those who are older
Don't VRs just apply for years of service , not years remaining , why for example would a 55 year old leave - they will not get another job
Just stick together and maximize the payout to any who get CR , make AJ pay the full amount as prescribed by EA
"If" there is a CR it would have to be done in seniority , so a % of those at the bottom go & are all reemployed within 5 years - all works out
The Kiwis acted promptly and set the example - just follow it and try to get provisions in any deal for those made redundant to have preference for employment at other QF group airlines (obviously after their own for example
Qlink come back)
The only variable is if you have to CR across each division of mainline - are SH FOs who have been around for short time protected by the fact they went to SH
