The implementation of the change in "severence pay" from 9 to 3 months you refer to has been delayed until 2015. Post 26 of this thread

I have heard from several sources that the redundancy offer has not been oversubscribed, indeed only about 50% of those leaving in tranche 1 will have volunteered. Therefore I doubt that there will be a large number of PVRs going in on Sept 1, as most people who have applied for redundancy should get it...... Pilots being the one possible exception, there being no pilot slots offered for redundancy.
