Well it IS the solution, regrettable though it is, if you are overmanned. Walk around the pink palace & see what I mean. If the plan is to reduce aircraft. you are obviously going to be overmanned. A benchmark used to be total personnel per aircraft. Don't have access but it is probably worth some quick research and simple maths to see that GF is definitely overmanned. Once again, in deciding a redundancy package, the greedy will be screaming for more while the company bleeds on a daily basis. Absolutely lacking in a road map, a hard business plan & the ability to see it through. Used to be called Management !
