Try this one: twenty plus years with employer A, including over ten years with a BAA pass. leaving to join employer B who operates from another BAA airport. All references taken up OK. HOWEVER, I then left employer A some three weeks before joining employer B. New references were required, to cover the "missing" three weeks. And no, I hadn't spent those three weeks in Afghanistan, Iraq, North Korea......... All now sorted, I look forward to July 2004 when presumably it will all have to be gone through again.
