Aah, come off it Roy, I don't believe you're that naive - of course the AfC bods knew that many were likely to be compromised in the bigggest pay-cutting excercise in Europe. It's just that they had to have some insurance to stop many of the "non-key staff" from leaving in droves. The key staff are the ones who don't lose out because they don't need a R&R premium - the ones that will train the cheaper labour that comes in straight from University to replace those "non-key staff" lost by "not-so natural wastage" as a result of AfC.
