Nursery discounts
The Nursery discounts are not much use to cc either.
You have to live near to a participating nursery to start with.Then you have to book your child in for certain days and hours.That is fine for office based staff but with cc working different days and hours that is impossible.A lot of crew rely on friends and family to overcome that.
There are no nurseries open on Christmas Day,Easter etc when cc are working.
I don't mean to appear ungrateful.I have worked for BA for a long time,and long may that continue.I am very happy and have no axe to grind,but just pointing out that sometimes thing are not as good as they seem to an outsider.
Another point,if I may.Have just tried to use my free ticket for October half term.All the flights I am looking at are waitlist only and are looking full.
Wherever I end up I will have to pay full fare,like I am in August.
The general public are full of anger at our travel perks,but the reality is I haven't been able to use my for years.
