One of the downsides of us having to put up with a seniority system, is the small bonus of a clause that governs when any number of crew are required to be made redundant, and goes along the lines of:
"Termination will apply in reverse order of date of joining as listed on the CPA Common Redundancy Lists, i.e. last in first out. "
However, at the rate that dissolusioned crew are going to be either jumping ship, retiring early, or going on 6 months sick leave etc, I doubt that this clause will be needed in the near future.
However, if the shufflers of the deck chairs manage to keep the airline going, but complete their last couple of years woeful stuff ups by shrinking the airline, then perhaps this clause will have to come in to play.
Poor old Mike Hardy will be turning in his grave at the woeful management currently being exhibited.
Now THERE was a leader - not because he was ex military, but simply because he was an honest principled man you could trust.
