RE I am not sure of the relevance of your exhortations to the point I was trying to make that the current BACC and its immediate predecessors (remember Rob Hall?...nifty bit of footwork that jumping from chair of the CC to a management position eh?.Bless him) in conjunction with Balpa are applying double standards.
I have not been around as long as you and am prepared to accept your intimate knowledge of the history of Highlands and Islands. Correct me if I am wrong as I am sure you will.....but I understood that BA looked after their boys rather well and there was some interesting career progressions from LHS ATP to LHS 744...............
By the way, BACX comprised not only Manx then BRAL but BAR and Brymon.
