dave 3,
You are throwing 'red herrings' about again!
When BA employed foreign cabin crew part of the incentive was that they would be able to use staff travel - not that it was 'part of their package'!!
There is a huge difference!!
It would be much eaier if the wording was more akin to ' ST is a reward for those who support the company' that way we would not have all the mis-information that is presently going about.
