Any word if the people let go will have the option to return to training (without re-interviewing etc) once demand returns? That would surely be the fair thing to do, although it would of course further delay the chances of any 'new' recruitment.
They're saying at the earliest, 2022 is when they'd look to bring anyone back. They're giving us a "guaranteed right to return" meaning when they open recruitment we wouldn't need to jump through hoops such as interviews etc, and we'd be given priority.
