Yo VdG!
Heads up, Britannia have done this before. In 1993 they ****canned nearly 33% of their flightcrew. Now I know most airline managements are fairly predatory, but Britannia's management are monstrously incompetent as well. They seem to execute major U-turns on the company's strategy every 18 months or so. Steer well clear if you can!
For your information, the redundancies mentioned were preceeded by exactly this kind of speculation - i.e. big announcement etc. etc.
Keep your head down and watch the **** fly!

Well they,ve provided my family with a good living for the past 14 years and consistently perform as the most punctual UK. charter airline, so the management for all their weaknesses must be doing something right!!!.50 new pilots being recruited this winter!!.Big announcement is most probably going to be a new group colour scheme and some restructuring in support areas at Luton.Modern business life involves continual change, we foot soldiers may not like it but thats life nowadays!!.

My friend in Brit crewing at Luton reckons that they (Singular) will be out of a job in October, or so they were told, rationalising the ops/crewing of Hapag, Brit and Corsair soon into one site.

Spoke to a mate in engineering at Brits recently, apparently the "big announcement" is that there are to be redundancies in some support staff areas. Ops/crewing was reputed to be moving to Germany, for example. I hope this is b*ll*cks as they have some good people there, it reminds me of the "new broom" Roger Range Rover, and all the nonsense he caused. Give all the 737s away, nobody wants 'em!(Flown on Ryanair lately, Rog?) Just 757/767, no need for smaller aircraft! Er.. until we buy some more anyway.
Sack all the experienced ops staff, we'll replace them with a whizzy computer!(now due for replacement, I believe)
Still, I expect this all made sense to an accountant.
