Actually bealine, if you read what I posted you will see I do not differentiate between FR and BA service at the price levels I am prepared to pay, so I am hardly BA bashing.
As for fuel safety, I don't believe most of the tittle tattle I read on these anonymous bulletin boards, which is why I am waiting for the final report on that 747 which landed at MAN.
I think O'Leary is saying that compensation should not exceed the price you paid for your ticket. Now you may not agree with him, but you have to accept he has a point. Now in my >500,000 miles with BA I have been treated very well and very shoddily. My most recent experience, BA cancelled the flight I had paid for, gave me no idea on when they might be able to transport me, and most certainly did not provide hotel or refreshments. They advised me to stay at home. Their only remedy was to refund the cost of my flight in full, no extra compensation was offered. Sounds exactly what O'Leary is saying, so BA and FR are pretty identical there too!
And I'm a 'he', you must be confusing me with my sister, 'fat'
