No it wasn’t. 8 numbers out of 2200 in the employee group is
negligible. In 2014 the VR program was far lower subscribed than this year but management deemed that, combined with LWOP, that was enough.
This year they got to within 4% of the target. Someone will be rewarded for that.
You bringing that point up continuously is like those who mention CR continuously. I’d suggest you take the advice you probably got in your first flying lessons in a Cessna about how to solve a problem - “look at the big picture”. Don't get bogged down in minute detail. From a big picture perspective the issue of surplus crew has been sorted out.
