Not exactly sure but I believe Air 2000 laid off quite a multitude of pilots (they were getting rid of 6[?] aircraft after all) but I'm not sure if any or how many of those were Airbus pilots. . .<a href="http://www.pprune.org/cgibin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=016638&p=" target="_blank">Air 2000 redundancies</a>
Well done to Airtours for their example during this time (despite the name change!!
<img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> ) I don't think they got rid of any aircraft this winter and in fact are looking to expand their fleet, which should bring even more jobs and frequency in the future. Also according to the annual report book (which I didn't actually read very closely <img src="redface.gif" border="0"> ) the holidays have been selling miraculously quickly for Summer and Winter 2002, especially over the Christmas period, so it looks like some more comforting times are in store in the AIH camp.
