Agree that the TB
PR machine is probably the driving force. I can imagine this noble gesture will inconvenience the ordinary punter, e.g. full aircraft sniffer/xray sweep before departure, police vetting of all other pax and crew, restricted selection of onboard lagers if Euan gets there first
, etc.
Meandering slightly off-topic, I have to take the bait over the Cabinet pay rise. The timing was perhaps unfortunate, but I still believe that the taxpayer's getting a bargain in comparison to private sector remunerations. Interesting that Bally Heck should bemoan this at a time when his own profession is pushing for similar increases. NOTE that I'm not against this; I'm merely raising an eyebrow...
