I hope the treasury understand that Navigators have not been affected by the Sept 11 atrocities. There were no relevant jobs for them to go to before, there still aren't and a lot of them have MBAs. Where I serve the Nav branch are running at around 60% establishment and a number of those left can give 6 months notice or are approaching option points. Add to this the fact that air travel is the only plausible mode of long-range transport and, therefore, the airline industry will recover and it becomes common sense to cover all your bases. Sorry, did I say common sense?
