I would add that in my wife's NHS trust there are also no planned rest/nutrition breaks during these 12.5hr plus shifts
cargosales describes, and with an expectation that staff will be present typically half an hour prior and as required after handover with little roster stability including lates to earlies, often with less than minimum rest. Three of her colleagues are currently participating in tribunals and malpractice enquiries. She also enjoys a wind-down glass of wine at 9am following a nightshift (which I think was the point being made - not all who drink in the morning fall into the 'problem drinker' category). But back to the case of the BA F/O, I don't believe BA is a company that would be seen to be
making a big show of pushing offender out of the door
however in this case, wasn't there an element of bringing the company into disrepute as a consequence of reporting by the media following the event?
