Sadly it’s not approximately 800; more like 1200 of the 1900 total on that fleet

It was pretty random after the initial round of most junior.
A380 pilots are on full pay apart from a mandatory 30 days unpaid period. Those laid off were given 90 days full pay and then shown the door

Yeah these third world companies try ever attempt to get around the contracts they write and hold you exactly to the letter when its in their favor. The issue is there is no arbitration there. State owned state rules.
