One of the points being that the "balpa member colleagues at other bases" who were junior (and even at the same base who were junior but also of lower rank) had the same contract of employment stating that any redundancies would be last in first out based on the seniority list.
If I (and others in the same situation) had lost our jobs on that basis then fair enough, thats life(o) after all. But if more junior pilots didn't believe in the principle of LIFO they should never have signed the contract and taken the job in the first place.
