Today's news isn't good but if the hard decisions are not made now, in 18 months time, all employees might be out of a job.
Now the attention turns to who goes.
But yes, I agree that HR should be looked at first. Also, does the airline really need all of those finance people? With aircraft grounded, a few crew might be the first looked at. You would hope that engineering is last on the agenda - they have already copped a lot. I think you will find a lot of the decisions will rely on how many people take the leave etc.
As yes, that Warehouse of Excellence (great name whoever came up with it!
).........not only a waste of money but it is wasting a whole day when people could actually be working.
