Brother Blades Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 If all the bosses were in Vegas, who snitched on him for throwing a sickie? I’d say that’s pretty poor behaviour. Lad probably feels bad enough without losing his job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As my post above, the guy himself phoned his boss to try and get on the flight and then phoned in sick when he was told to get to work. He's grassed himself in essentially. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 He would have had plenty time to get to Inverness airport for the BA 1225 Heathrow flight for about £100. Silly c**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly c**t. If the flight has been booked as one journey, then by missing the first flight, it’s likely he wouldn’t be allowed on the one to Vegas even if he’d got to Heathrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Thought he was meant to be on Flybe from Aberdeen, so probably not. If it was a through ticket with BA though, and he explained what he was doing, I can't see the problem. They'd just be getting an extra hundred quid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Not all bosses went. His line manager didn't go, and his line manager's line manager. Yep it was BA from Aberdeen to Heathrow they went on. No idea why he didn't try to get the Inverness to Heathrow lunchtime flight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total value of the transaction was about $74m, so this falls well within the "Midges baw hair" region as far as margin of error goes. We pushed it back on the counter party and they are pushing it onto someone else at their end. In think in the end it will be forgiven and written off, and everyone can get on with it as if it never happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve since been corrected & withdraw my Lee Wallace accusation.Same still goes, losing your job & a free holiday in one week is pretty poor. He’s lost one, let him keep the other, but never allowed to forget his major f**k up! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airlines cancel any subsequent legs of a journey if you miss the first bit.
