Ball-park figures = 4,000+ striking and losing ST.
Its a pity that none of those 4000+ strikers have managed a single posting between them setting out a clear and valid intention for the strike and its desired outcome
Anyway, onto staff travel.
According to some recent BASSA missives, losing ST is no big deal as they are only standby tickets (though they demand ST be reinstated anyway
)
However, with 4,000+ fewer competitors for those standby tickets, and with fewer paying customers thanks to the strike, far more "actual" seats will be available, virtually guaranteeing standby ticket holders a seat on an aircraft.
BASSA have therefore managed to make the benefit more attractive than it previously was
