When I was a BA, in my department, a position with the union at that level was full time. The chair was supposedly on the shift strength of the highest paying shift (permanent nights in TBJ) within BA, but hadn't seen a sunset at work for years.

The BASSA branch is much bigger, so I imagine he was full time too, until the dispute started. Would or could the branch secretary become an implied full time position and therefore custom and practice, so requiring flying duties, just to stay in check. That is how I see any potential appeal, but I am sure we would all have heard about it, if this was the case.
