I think you'll find the 2nd thread was about the redundancies in Line Maintenance (mostly in SAM and other domestic line stations). There are currently no redundancies in Heavy Maintenance (Tulla, Avv or Bris). If you put down your PA mic down long enough and listen to those that are actually effected you might learn something Captain.
Being made redundant is a fairly big deal to those faced with it and a lot of engineers view this site for info.
