davidex I had a year of paid travel by BA when my base closed since then l have always paid my own travel to work ... I am simply making the point that if the new contract came in I could no longer afford to come to work..I had WW on a flight and asked him some relevent questions.. his answers did not leave me confident that I would have a sustainable contract and stable income after her leaves then company. Thats why I am striking my personal opinon.
