LIFO isn't the issue here. The company matrix uses seniority as the majority factor so in effect LIFO is been used. The issue is how the company applies the matrix, if it chose to apply the matrix to a global pool (i.e. the entire seniority list) then we wouldn't have an issue, the problem is it's choosing to create pools within specific bases, fleets and seats, which flies in the face of what policy f says should be applied. Despite been safe this time around I wasn't in Jan and may well be the next time the company decides to make redundancies which is why everybody should support the application of policy f. It's a rubbish situation and I really hope there's a happy ending however unlikely that appears to be at the moment.
