OK

Let's be more specific then.

'round midnight, and rhythm method: A month ago some were telling us how there weren't enough seats in BACX to go around, and what an unfair threat the mere presence of mainline secondees where.

So, how many people have been granted volountary (never mind compulsory!) redundancies recently?

How many are likely to in the near future?

Is BACX still recruiting?

4468,

I'm not going to stoop to the inter-company bashing you are most likely aiming for, but some very basic facts from a cursory glance at the latest seniority list/ bid results:

5 BAe 146 aircraft leaving 47 pilot positions removed from the company (that's almost 10% of the workforce). Redundancies (most likely no comp. as there may be sufficient offers for vol.)... due to the disposal or relocation of such a large number of hulls, by my reckoning, just over 100 pilots are ENTITLED to voluntary redundancy. The bid results are apparently changing on a very fluid basis as pilots are unhappy with their allocation, and are opting to move on.

4468, there really is no need to stoke up feelings at yet another state of upheaval which doesn't personally affect you. Talk about kicking someone when they are down?! :yuk: :ouch:

Not trying to stoke up anything at all.

Simply trying to establish, whether you guys know what you're talking about when you make rabid claims of mass redundancies, to support the demand to repatriate secondees, and unfettered access to mainline for yourselves.

That's all.

As you say, it seems highly unlikely that there will be any compulsory redundancies. Judging by the rate of resignations you have told us about, I very much doubt the company will need to offer any financial incentive to leave either.

So, everyone's happy.

continue, please?
