It was a political decision made at the very highest level by one, or two people who are no longer at the company.
so yes people were made redundant not only on seniority
And CRS was meant for all fleets except 787/A350, yet only the 747 and some LGW guys were in it. Captains, SFOs and FOs. Yes we all came back but only because the market recovered. The hold pools had an expiry time, CRS was two years and it got close to that date before it was empty.
I won’t ever be bidding for the 380. Seniority isn’t as important as the seat you’re in when it really matters. Good luck to everyone with your decisions.
