Of course here that can't apply !! I doubt there is enough seating airside for 2 Easyjet's worth of passengers to hang round for 2 hours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The financial penalty does not look very strong on that page. It is a small airport with a small amount of traffic movements, 15 minutes should be the maximum you normally take to get through security. The impression I get going through is they seem to have a larger proportion of rejected bags compared to other airports which slows things down, why?.

Its unethical but not illegal. When it gets to that stage very few employers would bother making you stay under duress. I didn't say it was illegal, just that you have to give notice or have it waived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kindly quoted earlier by R.Mexico from Hansard: According to a House of Keys Answer in November 2020, we were paying a consultancy business something like £60,000 a year to advise Airport management on: Regulation compliance and licensing; processes and policy; quality and continuous improvement; airport management; training certification and competency; operational procedures; and airport strategy and planning. Does the Minister agree that these are all fundamental aspects of running an airport and that the new Director, when appointed, will be expected to manage these functions without relying on external consultants? The Minister: I would expect that to be the case, Mr President, yes. 4 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a possibility that with Ms Reynolds having already departed, Mr Spake was expected/requested to step up to the plate in the interim as might have been expected from his appointment - and opted for the ripcord instead? Which could speak volumes for his appointer and the standard of HR operations and assessment within the Department and Section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just leave. You don't need it to be waived as such. All you need is your employer to not bother. It would be very unusual for an employer to pursue such a claim and even less likely to be successful. Sort of a good riddance situation. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is certainly sad from a personal point of view. But the "rudderless" comment is also true. In these circumstances I would have expected the gov. to send in a go-team, tiger-team, hit-squad, or whatever, to make sure things did not completely fall apart. At the very least, make sure staff did not issue insulting press statements.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, I'm surprised the Airport is allowed to operate with nobody present to ensure regulatory oversight. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is there is a contract and if he left without proper notice, he has breached it or do we rip up government contracts when they don't suit? Apart from any claim or counterclaim, there is of course the issue of references. If he doesn't leave on agreed terms he has no say on the reference, but DOI would probably only give a confirmation of employment. The fact remains, you can't leave immediately (in contract terms) unless you have in mind a constructive dismissal claim, or have agreed a waiver of the notice period, or you consider yourself bombproof.
