A family member works for a well known travel agents and they are being asked to sign an agreement stating that they cannot claim flight delay compensation due to them working for the company they're flying with and already receiving a staff discount on the flights.
Does anyone know the legalities of this? Surely they are two different things and why should staff members and their families be left out of pocket due to delays?

Regardless of what they sign, they are unlikely to be able to claim under EU261 anyway since the regulations: "[...] shall not apply to passengers travelling free of charge or at a reduced fare not available directly or indirectly to the public".0

If indeed they actually receive a staff discount. I wouldn't sign on the argument that this disqualification is already covered in legislation so is unneccesary and they are denying you your statutory rights under law.If you're new. read The FAQ and Vauban's Guide

So if they don't sign they may lose the opportunity to get the discount.0

If the staff discount is poor and you can fly cheaper on other airlines, just don’t bother with the staff discount scheme.Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.0

Having worked for a number of Travel companies in the UK , this is quite normal and a requirement to get the discount offered.0
