I heard it was due to fact that Aviance were giving a point blank NO answer to the uniform request being made by SAS for all staff be they front of house of Ramp orientated to wear the ofically SAS approved "Leather Thongs" and the main reason behind the decline in complying with the uniform request was that staff found the leather to "chaff" the inside of their buttocks when a trial run was preformed this summer....
Hope that was of some help to you P206....
