The company held briefings around the network, at which fleet manager DT stated at the Melbourne Hilton Hotel (2009) the company was looking at:
1. 160 excess mainline pilots
2. Imminent Mainline redundancies on B744 & A380 S/O ranks
3. B767 F/O reduction in numbers (30) to A380 S/O
& would seek to avoid redundancies by:
1. Offering Voluntary Redundancies to Senior Crews
2. Delay 4% pay increase or take 2% now & delay the second 2%
3. Negotiating any other outcome with AIPA.

That's the answer I was after. That accords with the AIPA newsletter quote. It also puts that part of the subject in a sensible rather than threatening context.
To all the others trying to win the point by shouting down: you'll need more than that to win the fight that has just been picked on your behalf!
I would appreciate it if you don't clutter the thread by trying to engage pilots in petty and inane posts in the midst of a real threat to our jobs.
adsyj,
you can put your head between your knees and contemplate the view from that position as far as I am concerned.
