That's fine when you took a job at a specific premises. But when your

relocation or transport options are normally provided.


You think truck drivers get relocation expenses if they're asked to
deliver to manchester one day instead of birmingham? Or if a pilot has
to fly to hong kong instead of dubai? Get real. Any job in the
transport industry involves travelling , if they don't like it they
should bog off and get another sort of job.


Eh? The comparison isn't whether the pilot is flying *to* HK or Dubai,
it's whether he's flying *from* Gatwick or Stansted. And in real life,
airline unions do, rightly, have exactly the same issues with
relocation of home airport as rail unions.
