Day 133 - 12 Jun 95 - Page 33
1 A. Yes, I am just looking back up to here, yes.
2
3 Q. I think we find the crew figure -----
4 A. Yes, that is right.
5
6 Q. Were you looking at the actual numbers, were you?
7 A. Yes, I am just making sure.
8
9 Q. Just checking that they had got it right. I think that is
10 right. We have 66 from crew under training and nearly
11 twice as many from outside. What is the reason why in that
12 particular case the number of trainees from outside exceeds
13 by almost twice the number of trainees from crew?
14 A. Well, it may be because if this is taken at a
15 particular point,-- I am not sure when this is taken from
16 -- but it may be because trainees at that point are people
17 who have -- the reason for more external people is because
18 there may be a number of graduates who have started, who
19 would tend to start, at a particular point so they will be
20 in training at that particular point in the year.
21
22 Q. Let me ask you about yourself: You had worked on and off
23 more or less continuously for seven years as a part-time
24 crew member ---
25 A. Yes.
26
27 Q. -- before you became a trainee?
28 A. Yes.
29
30 Q. When you became a trainee, would you have been classified
31 simply as a graduate trainee or as a promoted crew person?
32 A. I would have been classified as a promoted crew person.
33
34 Q. You would. The next pie chart, the one in the middle, is
35 called "part-time". Of the part-time salaried employees 80
36 per cent have come from crew, do you see that?
37 A. Yes.
38
39 Q. What are the jobs which part-time salaried people can do in
40 the restaurant?
41 A. Well, principally, it is that of the First and Second
42 Assistant, Manager. They are the -- they are part-time
43 salaried people who could not hold full responsibility for
44 the restaurant so it could not be a Restaurant Manager.
45
46 Q. I was going to say, would you ever have a part-time
47 Manager?
48 A. I do not think it would be very easy to do that so we
49 have not currently tried to. It would not be very easy to
50 operate that.
51
52 Q. What does "JBM" stand for?
53 A. Junior Business Manager.
54
55 Q. We see that 80 per cent of those have come from crew?
56 A. Yes.
57
58 Q. Is this a rank which has existed throughout your time or is
59 it something relatively new?
60 A. It is relatively new. I think, from recollection,
