Overstress - Perhaps invective was too strong, my comments were aimed at presenting a more balanced view of what has been announced. Your topic title, "BA to loose another 100 pilots", is not currently the case and could be seen as being rather alarming.
Reading between various lines it is clear that BA expect that the surplus will be a temporary one and compulsory redundancy is to be avoided as far as possible.
Hopefully this time around any measures taken to reduce the surplus will be temporary
Wiggy - not sure how I dressed up the announcement, you seem to have got the same gist as me in fewer words
Anyhoo I think we can all agree that it's a difficult time to be working for BA
