glamgirl,you seem to take a very subserviante view of your role within in flight cabin services.of course agreed manning levels can be perceived as contractual.the judge will submit his or her views on this in february.why do you think that your role has no value in law ?? do you have such a low opinion of your value or status within the operation.established practice has great standing in legal cases,i do not see how the current agreement can be viewed as anything other than established and agreed practice.ask any barister for their opinion,i think you will be enlighened !!
