Yes the work has been cut back but we have been offered:
Xfer to LHR eurofleet - approx 250 heads gone, last course in
September '07. All volunteers
Temporary part time 50% and 75% All volunteers.
Unpaid leave for anything from single days off to whole months to say go travelling. Again all volunteers.
I didn't need any of these options and as full time contracted crew I haven't noticed any loss in work.
I think they may be one of the crew members who was asked to leave!
