They most certainly were not. They were told they would have assistance for two years, in the form of duty travel tickets before and after rostered duties, or mileage allowance, plus Hotac when reasonably necessary, or they could take the standard BA relocation package. They were
not told they could use personal staff travel ad infinitum regardless of future breaches of contract. Perhaps they just
assumed they could? BA are under no obligation to support commuting crew from their former bases. BA offered them continued employment within the BA group and thats the limit of their liability.
Miss M, you really must try to get your information fom sources other than the BASSA and Crew Forums, which simply repeat the same tired old lies. The inner clique there continues to convince itself that:
If only Willie would leave the problem would be solved (Keith Williams fully supports this process, and he's the next CEO);
That the only 9 out of every 20 VCCs is finishing their course because crewing is too hard (completely fabricated,they aren't);
That Willie is desperate for volunteers (he isn't);
That they're recruiting VCCs from the US because nobodys applying in the UK (they are overwhelmed with applicants from the UK, so much so that the other departments are running out of staff they can spare. The US VCCs don't need US visas either, so rapidly add to the numbers of US -capable VCCs);
And finally - this one is my favourite - that there are rumours that a massive 'yes' vote will force Willie out! Thats right, the massive 'yes' vote that didn't work first time, and has clearly failed a second time, will work third time around. Do they not learn? Will you swallow that fib for a third time? Let me leave you with a quote from Einstein:
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results
