Just to keep the record straight
Today i went and got my "Free" ticket from GF
as a former long term employee
The only thing that has changed in regard to staff travel is that
no longer is First Class upgrade available only Business
and your booking is now in X class
it used be in H class
so yes less seats available for a booking
but what the heck where i go there is no first class on that route
Maybe they're getting people to pay the First class Tariff
Good on them if they are
