Harry post #91, that's the Harry we thought might've been snatched and replaced with Harry the Realist. But you're back!
Why do we have so many? Because they're bloody good at their job, that's why
I nearly fell off my barstool when I read that. Seriously? Harry, we all know it's because they're bloody cheap not bloody good, same as every industry in this place.
As for the salary delay for interest, yes absolutely. Staff travel do it on a different scale with tickets. If you buy a ticket on the 1st of the month, then cancel it 5min later, you're out of luck. The ticket is deducted from your salary 3 weeks later and you have to claim it back in the next salary a month after that. They get the interest and you might forget to claim it.

the percentage of profits this airline makes from their own staff. Speaking of which, any wine crates left? They look nice, well worth 1100 chips back into bottomless company coffers. They need the money.
