VR offered to short haul today
All permanent short haul crew received a letter today, inviting them to submit an initial expression of interest in voluntary redundancy.
The letter did not state how many people they are looking at making redundant, but did say that it is part of the ongoing management of the crew surplus.
Based upon this, I seriously doubt that any permanent positions will be offered to any MAM, J*, Regionals or anyone else in the near future.
