If you retired from BA in 1992 have you not seen all this going on in the Touchdown? As both Speedbird in NZ and I have said join ABAP and see what is happening.
My staff travel finishes in 4 years approx from now and it was supposed to be for life and for my wifes life as well - and she is 10 years younger than me. In 4 years time I have got to get friends of mine who are still elegible for staff travel to get me Hotline tickets OR believe it or not use my retired staff travel (90%) with Virgin who I worked for after BA.
It seems silly that I can still use BA through an interline agreement with BA/Virgin but I cannot use the BA staff travel that I had been assured was mine and my wifes for life when I joined BOAC/BA !!!
However, in a letter from ABAP received this week, it seems that board members past and present can have not just staff travel for life - but 1st class travel for life. W..... W..... - you are a really even handed person NOT!!!!!!
