Interesting comment riverboat. I suppose the ultimate question is whther or not the job is worth having at any price? In the 'n' th degree, it goes to whther BA Ts and Cs improve consistently and hence knock on down to the rest of the Industry, there has to be a benchmark, unfortunately if people (and I don't necessarily mean Emerald guys, who have striven mightily for this) continue to accpet minimal Ts and Cs, then they drag themselves down. If the Company can't afford to pay propoer rate for the job, then the Company should not be in business. Would we object if Eastern European Ts and Cs were used to lower Company overheads???? I think we all know theanswer to that, so why should we accept Emerald practices?
