DutchRoll - sometimes I amaze myself with my predictive powers!
This post was always headed towards a therapy session for some members to vent their frustration over 'MOUs', put out their 'demise of mainline conspiracies' and try to inch ever higher on an already soaked wall!
Again, the questions surrounding redundancies should be addressed to AIPA via email or simply calling - you pay them after all! In the mean-time, there is LSL to be asigned, 6 months notice of the possibility of redunancies, MOU, lower divisers for all (I know what the EBA says with 160, but if it means no one would lose their job then why not?) and voluntary redunancies (stages 1,2 etc). The later packages could very much appeal to the older blokes (60 and above) as the package could equate to what they may have lost in super as opposed to working additional years simply to make it back again.
BTW, how many Virgin drivers were made redundant when they were 60 over stock? Lets not get too wound-up..............
