Marlowe,
Glide is not full of his own importance.
He is merely somebody with a little self esteem who wants to be treated with respect.
If he was an accountant called to an interview for BA I am sure he would have his flights provided, they are an airline after all.
This is the start of Willie Walsh (BA CEO) rule within BA.
That is Willie Walsh ex CEO Aer Lingus.
Thats right, the ex Pilot in Aer Lingus.
Now you have it, that ex Pilot guy that was heavily involved in the union there.
The point here is that, we all deserve a little self respect.
If I am going to be of any value to a company then show me a little respect.
