As in previous strikes, Staff Travel is withdrawn for all BA staff..... BA will want to maximise seats for 'real' passengers on the flights they manage to operate
I'm not sure what you are getting at. Strike or no Strike BA don't keep seats back for staff travel, they always want to maximise seats for 'real' passengers.
As for commuters retaining travel priviliges....with or without a "pass" there's still the practicalities of getting onto a flight......
