I use to work as cabin crew so have in the past come face to face with our customers.
My point in this is that someone in Compass Centre is making decisions to cancel flights due to lack of cabin crew and then hiding behind the 'adverse weather' heading to save BA money.
Bottom line in this is that colleagues like yourself have customers venting their anger at you (what do you mean my flights cancelled due to snow - its raining outside!?!) and then there are people (who actually do work) in the commercial part of the business trying to get customers through the door and fly BA.
My point in all this is that lets not hide behind the weather and deal with the real issue; that is crew shortage due to poor manpower planning.
We've also cancelled a number of flights over the weekend again due to crew shortage.
