This is again a slap in the face for the long timers here..

I have quite a big extended family. Before they all were eligible for 'wider eligibility' tickets, which worked nice. Then the special tickets meant I needed to keep track of who came, since the limit is 15 per year, which is not an awful lot if you have family coming to visit quite often.
Now restricted to 10 tickets per year means that I have to choose who of my family can come and visit me?? And all that because some people are misusing the system, a system that was designed to be misused...

No, again a big fail from staff travel, and again worsening our conditions, especially for people with families.

Not only can't we get 42 days of leave as per the contract, let alone getting some leave while the kids are not in school. So going back home to visit the family is getting harder every year. Now on top of that they also make it harder for the family to visit us during the year... And that for an Arab company that always claimed to be family friendly??

Very disappointed!
