The unmentionable did the unmentionable. Those approaching 60 or over who will struggle to find another flying role. Expat second officers or junior FO’s who have yet to convert their MPL’s to usable licences, pay back their bonds, or accrue much of an EOSB, an alarming amount of female captains, 90% of the FI’s that came across from the academy to mainline, and then a smattering or entirely random individuals who sit in the upper parts of the seniority list, approaching upgrade in rank or fleet transfer before their local compatriots. All with good clean records. And then of course radio silence from anyone above VP Flight Opps level except to say that unpaid leave is on the way too. But it’s the weekend so we’ll let you stew on that whilst we all position off to LPA on a 78 for 2 days doing god knows what.

As for yourselves, redundancies were inevitable I suppose but the method of handling it was appalling.

Dear <insert name> was how the mails were sent. Nice.
