if I were in the hold pool and "expired" I'd want my expenses to be reimbursed.
I understand the sentiment but you are wildly optimistic.
This is the airline that has been trying very hard to terminate it’s policy of reimbursing employes for expenses incurred if they use an AME external to BA for their Class 1’s and it is also the operator which (unlike some others) won’t fork out to provide any form of respiratory protection for employees currently slipping in DEL.
Good luck claiming for expenses as a non employee.
