If the company wants to make SH pilots redundant due to a SH surplus, it can.
The A380 is effectively redundant. It ain’t coming back. It’s finished so those stood down pilots are basically unemployed until the company comes clean and decides on the future of the A380, but that decision won’t come soon. So A380 crew are screwed for now. The IA will first model all Q and all A pilots going back to their original hauls. Then it will determine where the surplus is. We already know it’s in LH. Then it should start chopping from the bottom of the Q list, below the Y of course. A’ Pilots will be the last ones sacked in the case of a LH surplus. Hopefully those over 60 will just leave. I know they are whinging to AIPA because they cannot arrange their final flights! Man, if that’s their biggest problem, they have lost the plot.
