Guys, a few facts here are a bit wide of the mark (although the inept management remarks seem pretty accurate)! Of the 140-odd pilots to be made redundant only 14 were from the classic fleet. All are F/Os (although some elderly captains on short-term contracts were 'retired'). The vast majority of guys 'below the cut' were on the 340 or 400 fleets and have not yet left the company. Some captains (approx 90) are deing demoted but none are being made redundant. That said, the whole process is a complete fiasco which was poorly thought-out, badly executed and totally mis-managed.
