That is one of the facts; BRK pilots are in the majority and are, in theory, self-employed. Being 'sacked' does not seem an option as you are not employed. However, "services no longer required" seems to have no come-back. RYR can scatter these self-employed pilots far and wide back onto the open market, and seem to have immunity from any claims. Indeed it might be difficult for BRK pilots to claim anything against RYR, even age/sex/racial discrimination. They just "do not require your services anymore".
