Living not a million mies from Blagnac I think the feeling is yesterdays's statement was primarily aimed at softening up certain people (i.e; the French element of the workforce, the syndicats and politicians) to expect compulsory redundancies, possibly more so than a warning that as this stage the company is in imminent danger of collapse.
As Bergerie and others know making people redundant in France is a somewhat non-trivial event and groundwork needs to be done beforehand.......
