How many flights can some one get per year or is it unlimited and this is where seniority would come into play?
Are these for long haul as well as short haul.
Are they class limited..economy/flexible economy/business/First?
That figure is an Awful lot of trips.

From the main CC thread it appears the union asked that the TS be reinstated and they would suspend industrial action..not cancel it.
And i believe that Unite have allready said many of the proposals on the table are significantly improvements to the last offer ( but worse than what was offered last year)
but Bassa just keep saying no. And have even voted with a show of hands for a " no negotiation" stance.

As a normal working Joe this is what gets me so damn mad about the strikers and i suspect the rest of BA and the country. V, Good pay, excellent perks and they are striking.
Me and my Wife can't even afford premium economy when flying atlantic. I sincerely hope CC TS isnt pushing the price up of anything other than economy seats by creating an artifical scarcity. Mind saying that, while 60,000 is a lot in the scheme of things its a drop in the ocean.
