unsubstantiated rumour alert!
I have heard that some of the M/A 60 odd that were made redundant, actually received their redundancy package and were then awarded / promoted to a new position. In other words like the pilot sacrifices, the Co. are not being wholly truthful with the numbers. It's spin, yes people were made redundant, however it would appear that the role was deleted. In accordance with UK employment law however, they were offered a similar opportunity. Thus the net change is not 60 odd. These management traits are demonstrated by what E+C highlights. A manager/s will get a bonus based on "Cost savings achieved in pilot group". Not saying measures are not required, but we need to be mindful of how pilot T+C's changes feather the nest for the management.
