VR acceptances (from the employee) had to be in by 4th September.
Applicants will be notified by 14th September.
BA definitely knows how many people it will be getting rid of in this way.
Q. What's the difference between CR and VR?
A. Several thousand pounds in severance payments.
As has been previously mentioned, BA are currently in a position of being able to dismiss around 2000 cabin crew with statutory redundancy pay only (one week's pay per year served) and can choose who to dismiss. What's the betting that BA will say that they will only honour VR (severance) if there is a no-strike agreement.
That's the best part of 3000 non-strikers already.
