Well said NSF some of our crews are paronoid about GB and any others that thay see as a threat. If we at BA spent as much time concerning ourselves with getting on with our work as concerning ourselves with the likes of GB,we would have no problems with any competition.
Having had many duty flights with GB I have always found service satisfactory. it may be that the service was a reflection of the many changes that BA and its partners are going thru. Reduced catering levels is one of them .
