No. But CCs job is to travel. If they went on a training course 50 miles away from Heathrow, I'm sure they wouldn't get paid a sectoral allowance, but would be reimbursed mileage, which is obviously not salary.

I think this talk is all a bit academic -just compare like for like. What BA cabin crew earn is nothing really to do with the dispute anyway is it -it's all about the number of crew and new contracts, I thought.
