The company bypasses them and retrenches the next 50 in seniority. The LWOP pilots take those jobs. The 50 who were let go , were let go from positions that were not redundant. I’d say they were unfairly dismissed.
And the court would say it was done in compliance with the EBA provisions which (as pointed out by many posters on this forum) was recently voted up by pilots.
Again, the LWOP pilots aren’t taking the redundant positions at that point in time. The positions are redundant.
