First ...

My sincere appreciation to the previous 7 pages for such hilarious entertainment, particularly "dog of the sea" or whoever ... ah yes .... troll "Elperro".

Rule No 1 ..... don't feed the trolls.

The reality is (conspiracy theories notwithsanding) that IF there are any redundancies needed (and that is a BIG 'if") then voluntary redundancies will first be offered. My (uneducated) guess is that these will be oversubscribed.

As a side note ... the announcement of 10 aircraft parked is "equivalent" aircraft. Not the same thing. Effectively, some of the older 767s will be parked, and 747-400s will be replaced on a one-for-one basis by A380s.

Of course some of the flying reduction is taken care of by reduction of flying to the minimum per crew FROM the maximum per crew.

Apologies for the boring reality.
