Good advice, Dotun, thanks.
Not an issue, as it happens. I happen to be on 6 months notice, which means I'll get 6 months payment in lieu, on top of any redundancy money (and I also get to agree the exact terms before I sign anything) - more than enough to fund a little bit of flying! Unfortunately, not quite enough to buy an island in the Caribbean, build an aistrip and retire - but we can all dream!
(Of course, this could also be a good reason why the company might not accept me for voluntary redundancy - time will tell.)
