RVR800,
Check your mail.
Those figures, are they UK alone? I must say I'd like to see their break down, in terms of airline a x number etc. I know BA have not let anyone go, Virgin's actual numbers are realy quite small, Gill let off 40 or so, but we are a long way short of the 1100.
It might be a bit of creative acounting going on here I suspect.
btw, re the France bit, check my comments in the Frozen ATPL deadline thread.
PS
