Things might have changed in recent years but I was once told that it wasn't possible for a company to make a _person_ redundant. Only _jobs_ could be made redundant. The difference being quite important in some cases.

I know it's an unlikely example but... if you were hired to fly only one particular route and that route was still being flown by someone else in the company or a new recruit after you were made redundant, then you could argue that your job had not been made redundant and the company acted incorrectly.

On the other hand you might not get very far as most companies hire expensive consultants to make sure they get this right. I imagine that in the airline industry they just make sure individual pilots are never associated with a particular task/job in this way.

...I forgot to ask if Buzz is proffitable?
