The offer is not to 'stay where you are' as you suggest. It is to be demoted (some of them with 20 years plus seniority Jet Captains to become F50 First Officers and then work your way back to your present positon). Many of the KLCuk pilots will never ever achieve 'flying the heavy metal' that you propose and indeed I doubt that many of them would really want to. If they did want that then they would leave and start their career again with a UK airline and fly it straight away wouldn't they?
