Anyone who believes that the 'layoffs' were anything more than smoke and mirrors hasn't worked here for very long. The management is simply trying to justify going after the pilots (as they have for the past 23 years). Nothing changes. Hopefully most of us will realise that the only strategy to combat their aims is to resist on all levels. We may succeed, we may not. Certainly just rolling over and agreeing to what they have in mind will only send the career value of working for CX to the absolute bottom of expectations. Up to everyone to determine that outcome.
