I've travelled numerous occassions as a BA staff member (of the non-flying variety). I have probably travelled in Club more than WT or WTP. I have even had the pleasure of being in First on a 11hr flight (which was unlike anything I have ever experienced before on a flight). I accpet these are exclusive perks of the job and like the majority of people I am happy just to get on the flight. Yet, I do have one small complaint and that is....what is the point in having a dress code if some check-in staff don't even adhere to it. I was once at the stand-by desk (two years ago I think) waiting to be called forward for my flight. Before me were to girls dressed head to toe in denim and white trainers (at that time I had know idea where they were travelling to, or which class they were in), they didn't really thank the check-in staff very well, just a quick 'cheers' and dashed off. Then I was called forward, as usual I am smartly dressed exactly as per the dress code (smart trousers, and a open collar shirt as required for Club World eligibility). Well you can than guess who I saw sat in Club on my flight...yep the two girls dressed head to toe in denim and white trainers.

Again I was happy to get on the flight particularly as it was 25 over booked, but why have rules if people do not stick to them. Makes me wonder why I should bother making the effort at times. But sods law, I wouldn't bother one day and I would get denied boarding.
