                                                   KIM MOFFATT, Examined:
 
 
 
     1
     2   Q.   How does that sort of thing -- where she is asked to do it,
     3        she has got Human Resources as one of her goals -- how does
     4        that sort of exercise differ from, let us say, a Human
     5        Resources audit done by Head Office or the local Regional
     6        Office?
     7        A.  Well, this one, obviously, they would know -- she would
     8        be in charge, so she would know she would be doing it;
     9        whereas someone from Head Office, you never know when they
    10        are coming in, so they just come in unexpectedly.
    11
    12   Q.   You have been at Heathrow or Farnborough when somebody has
    13        suddenly come down out of the hills and done an audit, have
    14        you?
    15        A.  At Heathrow, yes.
    16
    17   Q.   Just a very few questions about these documents.  Can you
    18        turn to page 164, first of all, please; and it is the
    19        section headed "Section 5, Communications and
    20        Recruitment".  Have you got that?
    21        A.  Yes.
    22
    23   Q.   The second entry is "rap sessions and crew meetings", and
    24        it says: "There should have been at least one rap session
    25        within the last six months, followed by a crew meeting
    26        which covered SPECIFICALLY the matters raised at the rap
    27        session.  Notes of both meetings are required."  In this
    28        case the date is given for the rap session in question,
    29        27th July 1993, and I remind you that the date of this
    30        document is 12th October.
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Which page are you on, Mr. Rampton?
    33
    34   MR. RAMPTON:  I am sorry.  164, my Lord.  I think I did not give
    35        the page.
    36
    37   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You did, in fact, but I failed to find where
    38        you were reading from and, therefore, I queried the page.
    39        But there we are.
    40
    41   MR. RAMPTON:  It is the top of the page.  Then there is an entry
    42        "rap session date" (the last one was 27th July 1993,
    43        apparently); and then an entry "notes produced" in a box
    44        with a tick in it; and then a printed mark and a written
    45        mark.  Can you just explain what that means?
    46        A.  Basically, the rap session was held on 27.7.93, and
    47        then whoever it be, the Floor Manager or admin assistant or
    48        Assistant Manager, would then write notes about what was
    49        found on the rap session.  So they would go to each section
    50        as it was covered in the rap session and compile like a 
    51        list of -- sort of the way they are going to sort it out, 
    52        basically.  So that would be the notes.  Then you obviously 
    53        tick to say they are present; and then, on the volume of
    54        them.  So how good they are and how much they cover that
    55        was actually in the rap session, they get marked out of 60.
    56
    57   Q.   So, if there were notes but they were not very good or
    58        there were things that were not filled in, you might get
    59        less than 60?
    60        A.  Yes, definitely.
