That is my understanding.

I don’t have the CBA in front of me right now but I believe the company must offer them a place in the remaining bases.

I haven’t seen the full text of the announcement for myself, but I wonder if they will all be allowed to transfer to LHR as the company does sponsor visas there, unlike the US bases (though if memory serves those visas are only good for a few years and aren’t renewable) Edit: Answered below
