AVA, it must be great only having to work part time, facilitated by living in what is one of the cheapest major cities in the world whilst earning a wage in a very high cost economy. On top of this, you only have to turn up in London once a month on a discounted ticket.
Do you think I moved to JNB because it's one of the cheapest cities in the world? No, I moved there for other reasons.

Sorry to say it, but I don't feel sorry for you.
There's no need as I am not after any sympathy.

There could be tax liabilities if BA are seen to subsidise or make easier commuting to work. Could commuting be seen as a benefit in kind like benefiting from a company car?
Do you think that I am the only longhaul commuter in the company? To your surprise, there are many pilots who are commuting from abroad. I don't think I will be personally responsible if HMRC decided that is thought of as benefit in kind.
