My worry is twofold:
1) Am I in the firing line.
2) How to effectively manage personnel under my command who are made redundant against their will. Likewise there may be peers so affected.
It is unchartered waters and the usual aircrew way of: "Man the F*** Up and do one", is clearly not what is needed. There should be guidelines set by Manning regarding protocols to employ once the brown envelopes arrive. For sure a recipient of such a letter is not going to want to sing the praises of Govt or Service and the associated depression is likely to be contagious. I cannot remember what happened last time beyond a lot of happy chappies with a large wedge ($) to look forward to.
