The BA Cabin Crew thread is discussing cabin crew being unable to take their family with them at Christmas if they were one of the strikers who 'lost' staff travel, and one post contains this statement ............
.....This job takes you away from your family we know that happens but a system has been in place for years that helped crew.. contractul or not perhaps the courts could decide because this has been the case for years.
The bit I've underlined applies to the longest retired pensioners i.e.
was the case for years, that are soon about to be kicked out of staff travel concessions totally, but that makes no difference to BA's unreasonable treatment of them - and they didn't even go on strike !!!
