The dispute last year was “settled” because the arguments were lost & the group came back to work with their tails between their legs.
The comparisons here between CC & FD redundancy infer equal communications via section 188’s. Pilots never had a threat of dismissal and re-selection for rehire on the first section 188, so very different.
Regarding comments on LIFO, the Transport Select Committee yesterday required data on average ages for the various groups affected by redundancy/CRS compared to those retained. When this data materialises there may well be redress/scrutiny with relation to the 2010 equality act.
