To achieve that they kicked out those who had helped forge the once great airline that they now have the privilege of working for. Nice.
All I can do now is ensure that. B.A. get none of my money when I buy tickets.
I'm sorry you feel that you are being scalped on staff fares.
we are sooo angry about this the severence deal was staff travel for length of returement then they said it's a concession that can be removed at any time.
I am amazed the union has not taken this up. but as a pensioner we are not members of the union ,,, maybe ABAP will take it up ... legally
I would be happy to join a fighting fund
"staff travel" as a "product" still exists , but by splitting off pensioners it is discrimination it's also part of a contract so specific performance should come into it ... or compensation..
