No mix up. You are correct GG, BA would prefer VR, but if there are not enough volunteers then CR will occur. To be legal the company has submitted notice to the goverment of 2000 job losses. If 1000 are by VR then 1000 will be CR. Having started a legal process BA now must engage employee representatives in discussions for upto 2000 HCE job losses. You will note that the VR relies on an agreement being reached by 30th June. Beyond that, at this time, VR will be withdrawn and the redundancies will be compulsary.
I suggest, if you didn't see it, yesterdays Channel 4 news has a good item to view.
