Staff Travel for bmi retirees
I was under the impression that staff travel was an industry perk, after completing a number of years service with an airline, this perk became available and continued into ones pension. What would it cost IAG? A couple of e-mails perhaps as one still has to pay for the tickets. Reading a few previous blogs, it appears that there are guys in BA out there with there head in the clouds. The number of times they have relied on BMI concessions in order to position for work. Also I have seen BA staff using other airlines for their pleasure. Have they forgotten history that BA was in dept. to the tune of £100M and the government wrote it off !! What a gift with all those assets to start the business afresh!
As IAG has bought BMI as a going concern, would it not be a conscious good will business decision and gesture, to allow the retirees to continue with this industry perk?
