Nick: You wanted to see me Tony.
Tony: Yes Nick, come in and sit down. I know you are busy organising things for your move but I just need to discuss a few things.
Nick: Well, I told you I would get the pilots to sign up for SLS.
Tony: Yes, you did. That was a master stoke. Do you think they will ever catch on that the numbers were less than the 90% plus percent we claimed and we are using that to pressure the holdouts to fall into line? Still, they kept you sweating until the last minute didn't they.
Nick: Err Yes. They did.
Tony: Anyway the reason I asked you to pop in was about another matter regarding the pilots. I have just been on the phone to my good friend Willie at BA. Now he is telling me they are offering redundancies to their senior and most highly paid pilots in order to cut costs. This seems like a good idea. Can you tell me again why we just lifted the retirement age to 65?
Nick: Ahh yes Tony, I thought you might ask me about that. Why don't you ponder that while I go an continue packing for the subcontinent.
