1 which way the argument -- what arguments will be raised.
2 You ask whatever questions you want.
3
4 MR. ATKINSON: All right. (To the witness) Paul Scott, you see
5 the allegation there about very many shifts in a row in
6 1993-ish?
7 A. I mean, I am not disputing he did have very many shifts
8 in a row. I know he did. I am saying he volunteered for
9 those shifts and he actually wanted the shifts.
10
11 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You are being asked about documentation. You
12 are being invited to go over your evidence again.
13 A. OK. You would have to try and get hold of the
14 schedules if they still had them from that time.
15
16 Q. You think the schedules go back about 18 months?
17 A. About 18 months at the most.
18
19 Q. There is one for each week or is it fortnight?
20 A. One for each week.
21
22 Q. For all the crew?
23 A. All the crew.
24
25 Q. On one document?
26 A. That is right.
27
28 MR. ATKINSON: Would the same apply, then, to John Gore and
29 anyone else like Mike Stokes who talks about being treated
30 badly by scheduling?
31 A. It would apply equally to anyone with regard to their
32 hours and scheduling, yes.
33
34 Q. What about performance review problems, whatever?
35 A. You would ----
36
37 Q. The problems there -- I would like to know what these
38 problems are?
39 A. If it was a performance review being given late, you
40 would have to look at each person's personnel file for that
41 because that is where they are contained.
42
43 MR. ATKINSON: Yes. We have unsocial shifts, unsocial hours;
44 that is scheduling. I think that is about it, my Lord.
45
46 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is entirely up to you.
47
48 MR. ATKINSON: It is pretty well the same, I believe.
49
50 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
51
52 MR. ATKINSON: My Lord, the only further thing that I would
53 like to ask Mr. Richards is about the Ops manual, just to
54 see whether it can be cleared up one way or the other. (To
55 the witness) Can you take pink bundle Volume X, roman X.
56 It should be called Operations and Training Manual, Doc
57 One. If you turn to the first page of that and just read
58 it. You have been with the Company since May 1988. Do you
59 recognise this document?
60 A. I do, yes.
