All things considered, and there are many. There have been two versions of strategy displayed by airlines looking to navigate round the whole myriad of challenges thrown up by the pandemic,
i) those who have managed a process - generally with everyone having a say and going with the majority to avoid any compulsory redundancy (these had good turnout and extremely high majority votes up in the high 90%) salary cuts based on the next 12-18 months trading (which should stabilise somewhat with relation to COVID once a reliable vaccine is introduced possibly as early as the turn of the year)
ii) those who staff had little involvement in the process going forward and generally saw compulsory redundancies/lay offs.
There will be a reset the industry will recover and once recruitment starts again the evidence and behaviours displayed by the various airline management teams/individuals should be part of and self respecting capable balanced Pilot research when prioritising which airlines to set out for.
There’s seniority, there’s meritocracy and apparently there’s even something called mateocracy - for those coming here in the future and researching as part of an airline priority list - choose wisely spring and summer 2020 they showed their Various true characters when the chips were down.
good luck to all
