They are paying out one week's redundancy.........
So a cut in crew numbers means a cut in services which in turn means the air frames flying less which is where they make their money......
Surely BA are not going moth ball 20% of their fleet? Or are airframes being moved to other bases? (that however would mean still having to recruit crew....).
RYR and EZY are increasing services as well as higher aircraft utilisation which seems to be a 180 degree oppposite strategy of that of BA......
For those of you on courses being sent home, or those who have already handed in their notice my sympathies! For those who are still flying mainly in that colour when traffic lights are not operational, at least you still have a job!
