They're clearly looking to make those cost savings vs growth and I'm not sure if it's the correct move.

Mind, a nice incentivised switch from back office to front-line should help out with the driver shortage!

It'll be interesting how it all ends up as reading through the lines, 'Workers have claimed they will have to reapply for their jobs.' That sounds badly like fire and rehire which never ever goes down well especially if the terms are worse. Wonder if the engineering strikes behind the scenes are related to it aswell.

Not looking good there, mind surprised it's fully commercial. It'll be interesting if some of the more on edge companies, in particular First, which has been struggling long before the pandemic survive long term. I seen they've just pulled out of Southampton completely aswell.
