Partly isn't strong enough, mostly would be more appropriate.

They mention 3 things, starting with conduct (lateness, refusing duties, discipline etc) as holding the strongest weighting. There really aren't that many people who have these sort of thins, perhaps <5% where it's significant enough to be noteworthy. The rest of the matrix is pretty much entirely sickness related. In addition to that, it says that trainers and those that have specific airport qualifications (Innsbruck etc) will be looked very favourably upon. Trainers and airport qualified guys make up perhaps another 15%? So basically, for the remaining 80% of decent pilots, the airline proposes that sickness will be the primary reason for making someone redundant.

This is the first round of redundancies, with potentially more to come. What's the chance of a pilot calling in sick when they need to over the next few years with this hanging over their heads?
