I am an at risk year 7 Dash SFO. As I understand it they cannot make a person redundant, but a position. If they make me redundant and then fill my position with an EJet pilot then they will definitely have litigation on their hands.
The whole thing is a sorry mess caused by inept and greedy directors and we are here suffering the consequences. The upshot is I do not want anyone to lose their jobs and it is an absolute travesty that the top end chaps on the seniority list are losing their jobs whilst pilots who have only been here for a year or so are keeping theirs but I'm not going to stick my hand in the air and say get rid of me when I have a mortgage and children to feed, why would I?
As for our contract stating that LIFO is to be used, well I think unfortunately employment law has moved on since our contracts were written so I am not sure what water they would hold in a court of law. Time will tell.
