you do know that the 2,000 redundancies will also be achieved via the part time route, offering crew 75% and 50% contracts, which ALOT of people are waiting for.
I have already moved 10 places on the part time list today, and an adhoc list will be opened as well, so i suspect they think a lot of people will be taking part time as well.
I think we are a long way from compulsary redundancies at the moment.
