Redundancies
I know Eastern are a bit top heavy with crews, especially Captains. I am not sure why they took DEC's in addition to ex-flightline.
I have not heard any redudancy rumours but offering to go part time may be looked at.
There has been loads of talk about 'stuff in the pipeline', but you could only speculate.
IAC seem to be very happy with the service from Eastern, so hope they get the 5 year contract or there might be redundancies next year.
