Reality is, if you're stood down you're not likely to fly again for at least the next 12 months.What difference does it make to be stood down or made redundant for 12 months. You don't think you can get at least 500 of them back in 18 months time. Where are they going. What difference does it make to the training system when your going back to the same aircraft beyond 45 days anyway.
