If you strike, we will recover the money by making you stay in the Travelodge or some other motel on the edge of nowhere
I paraphrase of course, until someone pastes the whole email from ESS (which is a lot more than on the intranet, and yes, staff travel does go forever, and seeing as BA wants to reduce headcount, would they care if commuters decided to leave BA? They aren't entitled to staff travel. They can still get hotlines. If loads of them leave, BA will be happy, New Fleet recruitment can start even sooner - think about it! Also, who will be paying quite a bit more for all that LHR-LAX-LHR'ing she does....)
It won't matter if LaLa tells her minions to be nasty to pilots, we won't even be in the same hotel any more, probably not even on the same bus! (Crew issued with BA Micro Scooter to get to airport Ibis...)
