Does 'she' still work for BA?

Just curious?...

Wife of a famous Scottish Politician, currently very much so in the public eye(In Scotland) right now for the wrong reasons. I know for certain she was still with BA(longhaul) in May/June although the press refer to her as a former air hostess. I guess many assumed she did not return to her position after her 'time off' in 08. Met her a couple of times, seemed very friendly, perhaps that is why i feel the need to avoid calling her out by name.

I thought she worked short haul out of GLA, before BA closed that base.

Yes that is where i used to see her. I know this year though she was doing long haul however: friend saw her on a PHX flight and i asked one of her collegues about her recently when sat next to them out of GLA.

I read somewhere that she took voluntary redundancy this year.

I also recall that she was suspended at the time of the original trial, after allegedly being found in possession of lots of miniatures off flights. BA were obviously not keen on the bad publicity being generated at the time and trying to get rid of her.

She does not feature in the BA corporate directory, which lists all BA employees.......

Why the subtrefuge? Tommy and Gail Sheridan are accused of a serious crime. He is a hypocrite. A perma-tan Champagne socialist with a taste for the nice things in life.

Well, that's him. How about her?

This was beginning to sound like actors discussing Macbeth, whoops, the Scottish play.

Here...here!

The hypocrisy of the "left" is amazing...they all tell us how we should live and they abide a different standard altogether.

Comrade Tommy was always good for a laugh. I used to enjoy listening to his rants for their comedic value.

I bet his socialist principles went out out the window when he was enjoying Gail's ID90s in First or Business.

My main concern is if one turns up at a swingers party as one does. Who would really want to see his bum bouncing around the place. He is not the easiest on the eye.

Given the reaction up here to him winning the libel trial, then I think there will be shock and consternation if they aren't found guilty of perjury. Amongst the evidence to be presented by the prosecution (apparently) is that when she was giving him an alibi for not being at a swinging club, she was actually doing a trip to MIA If that's the case, going to be hard to explain how saying 'he was at home with me' isn't perjury if you were on a plane to or from or in a hotel in MIA and that's easily proved.
