IF that were true - what on earth has it got to do with anything?
Any remuneration - however it is paid - is between BA and employees.
Talk about smokescreen argument.
Folk are on strike and you are bickering about some expenses their replacements receive?
If it's done anything - it's opened peoples eyes regarding the things CC claim for, which is the whole point of what WW is trying to amend is it not?
VCC gave up weekends and evenings to train anyway - so why should they be out of pocket as well for doing the job you have decided you don't want to do?
I suspect this is a wind-up.
