Cheers DA...
I guess some of those folks on LWOP wont be coming back!!
If the numbers are correct and they need to get rid of that many people (which given the age demographic/people approaching retirement etc i dont think they will), how can the company really do it on raw seniority?? The cost would be crippling. Redundancy payouts, plus pretty much 1/2 744, 1/2 380 so's gone, most 330 SO's gone, all Perth 737 FO gone, some MEL 737 FO gone....not to mention retraining to fill any vacancies from RIN/demotions etc.....I really dont see how anyone can think they are protected by the award.
