45 pilot redundancies were required at jmc out of 400 or so.
By the time the consultation period had ended, due to the efforts of the Balpa CC and a largely sypathetic pilot mangement, no compulsory redundancies were made. A combination of enhanced retirement terms, voluntary redundancies and career breaks were offered and were taken up to the extent that the company eventually decided not to make the last 6 or so redundant.
Balpa was also successful in preventing LHS to RHS demotion. The captain/first officer imbalance has, after 2 1/2 years, almost evened up and commands are possible again next year.
I think the MYT situation is worse in comparison and compulsory redundancies will be necessary given the numbers involved unfortunately.
Good luck to all those affected. The only saving grace is that there are type rated jobs around out there. Let's hope that the downsizing will ensure that MyTravel survives and no further job losses are necessary.
