Staff travel is/was a non-contractural 'perk'. Management told cabin crew that if they went on strike they would lose it, those who struck lost it. The incompetent UNITE/BASSA union said that the removal was illegal but have not yet tried the matter in the courts. They have had 10 weeks to think about it and legal action has not been taken. A compromise may be worked out in which staff travel will be reinstated but with seniority reduced to zero which affects the number of trips that can be taken per annum.
