egcc & virgin wanabee - show some respect for the people who have something to genuinely worry about - redundancy - get a sense of perspective and take your armchair CEO claptrap to airliners.net or somewhere else more appropriate.

am I saying the MAN base deserved it? NO
am I saying the decision is justified? NO
am I laughing at the news? NO
