I agree. If Unite is foolish enough to argue that staff travel is contractual, and heaven help them if they do win in court, the tax man cometh
Wouldn't that be ironic? A Labour backing union handed a healthy taxation option to the new coalition government.

If staff travel is declared as contractual, then will that not cover anyone, in any UK airline, that benefits from it?
That would be far reaching and can you even begin to imagine the reaction from all airline staff if that were to happen?
