Don't really see your point. The company have said no redundancy notices will be served before 1st November. As you say most pilots will be on 3 months notice, which will commence on the day notice is served. That's at least 6 months from the announcement to the first pilot leaving, or perhaps you'd rather the company had kept quiet and just served redundancy notices on 31st Oct.
Why do you find it so odd the CP new nothing? These decisions are made at high level, it's generally down to chief pilots and fleet managers to manage to fall-out. Personally I think the announcement has been handled fairly well by the company, considering how bad it is. As a plc the company are bound by certain laws when it comes to making such announcemnts. It's a just a shame that certain individuals feel they have some God-given right to be told before anybody else in the company!
