Gamesmanship with travel policy
More anecdotally than anything else, but I'm curious what experiences people have had of this:
Our threshold for going WT+ on non-client funded travel is a miserly 8 hours. Funnily enough, NY is our second biggest office.
However, there are certain flights (BA 173 and 185) which clock in at 8 hours, 0 mins. So in theory I should be able to go WT+.
Am I being a cheeky bugger playing the system and selecting those flights, thus hitting that threshold? Or is it fair enough?
What are your thoughts about the return sector obviously being a fair bit shorter? What would senior managers on here feel about their staff applying this 'loophole'?
Have people done this with their own limits?
Cynically, are BA acting in regard to such policies - another reason for increasingly roomy sector times!?
