"King, Marshall and similar reptiles are the reason why I will NEVER fly ba unless there is no feasible alternative"
S'funny. I fly whichever airline gets me to where I want to go at the time I need to be there. Am I the only one who can't afford to be choosy? In spite of all the airlines out there, there are not many who can fly to a European destination and back in one day, with a resonable amount of time on the ground for a meeting.
Lord King did a job at BA. I don't suppose for a minute that any casualties of his reign were picked out personally by him from long parchment scrolls of names.
You're either a victim in this life or a winner. Whichever you are, this guy has died.
Respect.
