Used to work with a couple of sporty types, useless at their job but good at running or whatever.
Typical scenario, already the maximum allowed on leave so they cannot have another weekend off to represent X,Y or Z. About an hour later the boss will receive a phonecall inviting him to release sport billy, under threat of something nasty. Or sport billy is invited by senior bod to go on AT and we get the same scenario as above.
If your face fits AT is available.
Nothing new - in the early 1970s the "RAF News" contained a letter from a disgruntled chap at RAF St Athan complaining about a JnrTech who played sport at command level, the JnrTech was away 50% of the time and his mates were fed up of carrying his work load. This triggered a series of similar letters from folk all over the RAF until the editor wrote "This subject is now closed".
