Basil:
Its rather frustrating because its always more pleasurable when there is a diversity of ideas, etc., on a forum, but it just seems difficult for some to believe that the Moderators here mean what they say and participants will be bound by their rules.
If TightSlot decides that in order to post on this forum we are required to send in a photo of ourselves balancing a pie on top of our heads then, like it or not, if I want to participate, I'd better get out my camera and start baking
Thankfully, they are much more reasonable than that.
Mariner9, as I understand it, and as usual anyone correct me if I'm wrong, Ms. Malone is on leave due to health issues and regarding Holley in the past BA has allowed BASSA Reps to perform their Union duties while on BA time. That policy has now changed.
It seems obvious given Mr. Holley's work record that there is a good chance this generous position by BA was being abused by BASSA.
