As I understand it Staff Travel will give them upto 90% off the price of the ticket plus tax. So not so expensive. Of course there does have to be a spare seat on the flight...
Hard to find sympathy for someone who commutes from Johannesburg. It's a perk, they could have removed it at any time. They were warned of the consequences of striking.
Also Betty's Girl needs to get into the real world. There are plenty of people who earn what CC will be earning on these new contracts or less and are based in London. Yeah you can't buy a house but who can these days? I bought my house ten years ago. I couldn't afford to buy it now and I'm earning more than double what I was earning when I bought it.
