Polar,. .I believe those figures are UK only. I'm afraid your perception of the number of jobs lost is quite wrong.. .BA may not have made any pilots compulsorily redundant, but there are 400 fewer aircrew jobs in BA mainline than there were this time last year. Virgin has lost 160 pilots and 90 flight engineers - hardly small numbers, I think you'll agree - and BMI has got rid of 109 pilots. Gill's 40 you know about. There are many more, but I don't have the figures to hand, but just those few add up to about 800. 1100 is quite easy to believe.
