Im sure some of you have spoken to employment solicitors already, but this does not sound legal. To make large redundancies, employees need to be selected based on many areas / criteria. This criteria needs to establish whether groups of employees are undertaking similar work to their colleagues. If they are (and clearly they are if they are also pilots), then everyone must be part of that selection pool & other criteria must be looked at such as experience etc.

Clearly if a complete fleet is being disposed of, then everyone on that fleet instantly has an increased risk.

My understanding is that you cannot simply be 'ring fenced' from redundancy because you have selected one of their 'options'.

I will add at this point that I am NOT an employment solicitor but I would definitely be discussing this with one before you opt for an 'option' & then thinking you are safe.

IMHO of course. Good luck guys, I hope it works out for all of you.
