Carlos Vandango:
As we are currently well under establishment with cabin crew members, with the current attrition rate we will have to hire more, not lose them, as the fleet size changes. That rumour is therefore completely untrue. The 11% reduction ( a figure not mentioned by any senior manager, BTW) will be mainly on the admin side (if it happens, it is by no means certain).
Barcode:
let's do this bit by bit:
>>For example, there are no "resignations rumour to follow very very soon".<<
There have been NO resignations since that time!
>>There is no "severe fleet rationalisation", the fleet size will be bigger in two years than it is now. <<
We are shedding four CRJs, but it is also planned to eventually replace them with 4 Q400s. The fleet size will therefore remain the same over time (it takes time to deliver all the Q400). So, yes, it may not be bigger, but there is still no "severe fleet rationalisation" either (you will note we agreed to differ on that later in the thread that you so selectively quote).
>> Whilst you may not know anybody who is "happy at BE", I know plenty who fit that description- especially those who have worked for the competition. <<
Still true.

NOBODY on the main seniority list will be affected, not just me. See above for the "false rumour" (as it has shown to have been).
