Hmmm. Don't kid yourself CL. NJE are not thinking of your interests one bit. They are trying to cover their butts should this situation blow over in the next year or two. Then they still have a ready supply of "meat" available for easy access whilst minimising todays costs.
If it fits with your agenda you are lucky and I would agree that it is a lot more palatable than redundancy but that is not their agenda.
and I wish you all a bizjets company that treat you like NJE does..
I know of many many ex NJE employees (except no-one is actually employed by NJE) who would take issue with that statement!
