It's jealousy for sure, I worked for Astraeus and they disliked BA, one senior who took the mick out of BA, was loud, brassy, common and couldn't get into BA if her life depended on it.
That's the sort of people BA like to keep out and Astraeus like to take on. Go figure.
BA is the best airline, best flying environment, best salary, best everything. Give me BA over any other airline, ever.
It's like the 'HARRODS' of the aviation world, were some airlines are like the Primark.
