I will say zis only once more.....
Staff Travel Benefits in retirement (in my case, and others) formed part of a Severance CONTRACT. A CONTRACT cannot simply be discarded at some arbitrary date or at the whim of the company. I wonder if Big Airways would consider permitting retired staff to avail themselves of Hotline in lieu of full staff travel benefits. There are still a few half-decent deals on Hotline, although not many. I have a sufficiently large bank of retired colleagues who have said they'd be quite happy to obtain Hotline tickets on my behalf. So what's the difference? One correspondent made the very good point that retired staff of other airlines will still be able to travel concessionally on BA long after my privileges have been withdrawn. It makes me pint of Grolsch boil!
