Hi,
approx 50 pilots is the figure i have heard. The company are trying hard to avoid any redundancies by implementing other options which will require some flexibility on the part of the other pilots.
After Sept 11th the union ensured in my case that it was (LIFO) last In first out . Lets hope that holds true this time, and is not fleet dependant.
One option rumoured is being able to work half the contracted hours and achieve equal time off, i.e two weeks on/off for slightly less than 400 hrs per annum.
Its a good company, enjoyed my time there, and wish all VS employees the best for the future.
Rgds
