And when redundancies are announced there is no suggestion of "hey let's all take a payout so that everyone can stay in a job".
If you mean paycut, all the redundancies were voluntary amongst pilots (mostly Captains), none compulsory, so technically they did take a payout so others could stay in a job.
In 2009 when there was talk of S/O's being made redundant many pilots (mostly S/O's) took reduced hour lines (effective paycuts) in order to save jobs
