Shuttlecock, you reckon there are other jobs out there?...pray, do tell where? I reckon most airlines have put recruitment on hold until they can see something develop out of this mess.

Good posts from ExEng (as always)and Rustbucket.
Shuttlecock may find that when it comes to redundancy payments the amount used to determine the payment is your WEEKLY wage. In fact if memory serves me right the government have set an upper limit to this at £210. The matrix used to determine the actual payment only takes into account years of service( with a maximum of 20) and your age. The MAX payment (up until 1997) was £6300 !!!. Won't go far will it. However if the chaps all keep their heads and think creatively AND long term this mess may be survivable
DISILOOSHUNNED-- As I understand it, The 747 FEs were slowly leaving BA on fairly decent severance/retirement packages. Obviously not everyone would have been able to leave when they wanted due to the ongoing requirement for their services. The options for those still with BA in November would have been to take one of the above packages or to redeploy within BA. Both of these options have now evaporated .So spare a thought for those guys, some with 30+ years in BA, who have been caught up in this mess. As for the rest of your posting, I couldnt agree more.
