10secondsurvey: But this thread is not just about you (surprised?). It isn't just about BA either.
A lot of people do find it extremely uncomfortable in economy nowadays. As I said before, if the seat pitch is ok for you, well, congratulations. It isn't ok for a lot of other people, and that's the problem.
Having a few hundred shares (for whatever reason) in the airline you defend so forcefully, is a few hundred good reasons to doubt your credibility in this matter.
The point remains: There are choices. The market shows that given the choice between smaller spaces and higher prices, people tend to go for the smaller spaces and bitch afterwards.
I don't have an issue with you finding it uncomfortable in 31". I know there are plenty of people who do. But please exercise your freedom to choose, and let me do likewise.
I take it, BTW, that you obviously haven't been following BA's share price performance over the last few years?
Not the sort of stuff that is likely to skew one's views. However, if you can bear BA's pitch, I highly recommend the additional 10% discount off virtually any flight you book that comes with a purchase of 200 shares for a very modest outlay. Or it might make it more palatable if you find that you do have to fly BA.
No, I have other reasons to like BA. I am infinitely more a customer of the airline than an investor in the airline, and that is where they have inculcated my positive opinions.
It is quite entertaining, though, to be accused of a want of integrity through my share ownership when I volunteered information that you would never have known otherwise.
