FYI I wasnt in any Pub in the Uk and didnt hear it from a fly on the wall. Like I said in my original post it is a RUMOUR that I was told by FOUR different people in various differing segments of the industry. I never said it was a FACT and that people were going to lose their jobs - I made a post - like many many others have done before and will continue to do so, of something that I was told. Is it 100% correct - who knows - time will tell. I have friends flying in the North Sea and I dont wish ill will on any of them including the ones I dont know. Anyway I posted what I was told - with the ok of those with whom I spoke. Lets see what plays out.
