Discounted travel for Government employees is a very common practice, not unique and its about time it came to the UK in a noticeable form, maybe stop Ministers cruising around on BA and private jets at the tax payers expense. NAS do not have shortage of pilot applications just a shortage of training capacity, as do Qatar. Good news for UK aviation. As for the contract terms are concerned there is a tendency for an elitist attitude and we must accept the whole industry is changing, the most we can expect is respect from ground staff and cabin crew, management just view us as a resource which they have to tolerate ,provided the pay cheque arrives on time its all much the same.. and unions? in 23 years they have proved useless, worse than useless and expensive, state employment laws need to be changed, but with us Brexiting I guess thats a pipe dream
