Ray, not to disappoint you mate, but from what I understand, it's only the measures that directly affect the pax which will be lifted.. .The rest of the package, affecting the employees, seems to stay in place until further order. (Not sure about the UK side, but we're still handing in leave and part of our holidays.)
Since you pointy end lads&ladies, unlike ourselves in the cabin, are not directly affected by happier pax, I did not include you in the above.
As for the merging/consolidating you mention; afraid I know too little about the management/financial side of things to make a useful comment. Did get a heads-up from a mate in Holland about rumours of yet
another re-organisation of KLM. . .Hopefully less expensive and more effective than the 6 last ones. . .We live in hope <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
