Many Thanks for the interesting reading ,one of you is correct re my employer !
One thing that strikes me is a point in the last comment about a 2 yr capt being demoted after 13 yrs of service,not too sure where your friend sits but that may not be accurate, things are not set in stone just yet .
Although its a dire situation at the minute for us( its been on the cards since the fateful day in 2008 as far as many are concerned),we have to keep going, for some we cannot or indeed want to venture out of the UK
Fingers crossed for us all, hold on tight I think 2012 will be the toughest yet
