Well thanks heliport that's the first 'admonishment' I've had by a moderator since joining this forum in 1997 (despite what it says in my profile). I stand by what I say, I have witnessed a few PPRuNe rants and a lot of the stuff on here (cake, eating, doesn't know she's born, shouldn't live in Dorset etc) qualifies as rant to me. I find your quoting of me rather disappointing and sarcastic. The case was brought by BALPA because they felt that
JS was being disadvantaged unfairly by an arbitrary safety argument (rejected by the tribunal). The Starmers were within their rights to reject such an offer as you mention, and to hold out for their preferred option, which the Tribunal and subsequent appeal upheld.
