Ignoring the rather assumptive and rude 'look he's only a newbie' comment, it doesn't make my one sentence contribution to this topic any less relevant.
I fully empathise with the people who are losing something with this deal, be it majorly with Baby, or minorly - staff travel perks for retired staff. Let us not forget that, although maybe not to be praised in their handling of the deal, IAG were not the ones who steered the BMI fiscal situation to where it was.
Frankly, and without meaning to be personal, I would have thought that the lack of travel perks for retired staff, once their previous employer has been sold to a new company, is way at the bottom of the list of things to bemoan.
