Looks like I will be struck off next year, I am rather bitter about it because my decision to help out British Airways' overstaffing problem and take redundancy was partly based on ST coming back sometime in the future. I still have my letter dated 17th February 1982 that says " When taken the concession will, of course, be subject to the regulations then governing concessional travel". So I guess they will always point to this as their justification. If I had stayed and done my time I certainly would be living well off the pension, but I do not think I would have had so much fun. I hope BA backtracks but, sadly, I do not think fighting a battle will achieve anything.
