Employment and "direct employment" are completely different as we came to find out. Only the Scandi crews would have benefitted from redundancy payments if the whole thing folded ( and it may well still do). The UK and Spain crews employed through what the Courts described as a "very complex business model" were basically left high and dry.
It is not rocket science to see your ID number and thus where your butt sits on the MSL and if you have any chance of getting a look in, having said that, there is a presumption that all pilots will re-apply, which of course is not the case. Looking at he proposed fleet in Spain, even if they crew up fro ramp-up if your seniority is outside the 30's forget it.
Don't know of any UK crew that would be interested, but what you hear and what goes on in the background is another matter. Perhaps more importantly, many will not have the right to live and work in Scandi land, or indeed be able to afford to on any "new contracts"
