A few months ago I knew cabin crew and family who were on a flight KUL to LHR. All were in CW except one so they swapped and swapped and swapped so everyone had their share of time in WT+. It was a window seat and I felt so sorry for the passenger in the aisle seat.
To me that's misuse of staff travel!

To me that's misuse of staff travel!Staff should be held to at least the same standards as passengers, and here it seems that they weren't. But that doesn't mean that "staff get away with anything" and it's not "an abuse of staff travel", it's "an abuse of travel".
Usually staff are held to far stricter standards, on all airlines! Look up the "non-revenue" traveller dress codes, for example. Here is the one for BA: British Airways Plc | Find flight listing option at FlyZED | ID Travel | Airline employees and a stricter one, Cathay: Cathay Pacific Airways Limited | Find flight listing option at FlyZED | ID Travel | Airline employees
