well, where does one start with the perks at BA/VS/KLM/AF? (practically free family LH F tickets ++ etc etc - yikes)
Mmmm, my free BA ticket (two a year) to IAD cost the two of us £330 in taxes/APD etc.
Back to the thread.....
Are we talking about pilots based at Stansted travelling to a short term base transfer outside the UK? If they are they should be on a duty ticket provided by the company.
However, if they are based abroad and simply wanting to come home for their days off surely they should be treated like all other commuters, flying on a rebated staff ticket, paying all the taxes, like other commuters.
