Perhaps this is something that needs to be written in to pilots "Agreements For Service" and verified by employment solicitors that "In a redundancy situation, a pilot will not be prejudiced by current fleet or lack of type rating"?
The discussion on base redundancy determination is still up for debate as to whether it has any validity. As someone has already stated, there may already be precidence with the Kraft case but I would need to read the actual details before being able to comment on it.
