I think it can be argued that if BA could be convinced to take it on the chin for X number of pilots, simply because they were on efficient fleets, then they could surely have been convinced to save that many across the board if no efficient fleet had been identified. Therefore some people were made redundant who had the seniority not to be, had the former scenario not been an option.
I personally believe BA would be in a far stronger financial position right now, had they not panicked so much, and kept everyone employed and retained all aircraft, but they had to make a decision and we are where we are.
