MM, there is a difference between those who claim to have wanted to leave or who registered for VR, and those who actually signed the offer letter.
Furthermore, BF has publicly confirmed what I have always believed to be true, which is that he approved all requests for VR. And why on earth should he refuse 500 cabin crew the chance to take VR when his objective was to make £127m of cost savings through the voluntary reduction of the equivalent of 1,700 full time crew?
