When Qantas changed their Staff Travel rules some years ago they left their older retirees severely alone, i.e. no access to the new benefits, but they maintained what they had worked for, and were promised, for the rest of their retirement.
BA are about to introduce new Staff Travel rules on 1st April next, but ...... they are about to retrospectively deny Staff Travel totally, to their oldest, once loyal, retirees who helped forge the airline that the present managers are now priviliged to control.
Be very frightened, older Qantas retirees, be very frightened, the Big Bad Wolf might gobble you up, too.
( course - the older BA retirees may again enjoy their travel - if Qantas control BA !!! Wouldn't that be nice. I'll dream on )
