Unpleasant though redundancy may be, if you've been working for bmir for the last 12 months and not been trying to find a new job, the fault lies partly with you as well.
Generally, if a business is not making enough money, as long as an employer jumps through various procedural hoops (HR are good at ticking the boxes on this), the employer can ditch staff as and when they choose.
It therefore becomes the obligation of anyone joining a company, to evaluate whether they think the company will succeed. Doesn't matter that you've only been trained as cabin crew - it's always your personal job to figure out whether the company is doing well or not. Equally, if you're an employee, it's your job to decide whether you think the company will be able to afford to keep you. Yes, I know you may not be privy to secret information, but an employee of any company should be making their own judgment, regardless of what euphemisms and pleasantries management may say.
If you believe your employer is in trouble, you should actively be seeking a new job today. Neither management nor HR will show any loyalty to employees when profits are down. Any employees who show unquestioning loyalty to their employer are being, quite frankly, mugs.
