It's VERY UNLIKELY that there will be any forced redundancies.. Plenty of very senior guys waiting for a good pay deal to retire.. Quite a few F/Os leaving in the hope of a quicker promotion. If the multi fleet flying is abandonned then they'll need more crew. An increase in long haul will require more crew too (despite a reduction in the shorthaul)
Then there is part-time and unpaid leave.. So I'm pretty sure no one at the bottom of the seniority list will be made redundant. At worst there might be a few people forced out of their preferred base..
