Flew on Dec 27 from Chicago to LHR for an onward flight to Middle East with an American carrier. Lady asked if I was military and was upgraded to Business class. In there were 5 uniformed US military personnel. Not that rank has anything to do with it, but all Private / Corporal rank.
For all the bad said about the Americans, they treat the ir boys and girls right.
Think that would happen in BA ? My ar$e it would !!
IN FACT !!!! The Bl00dy BA MOD Leisure line is more expensive than logging on as a civvi on their website !!!!
This country and it's attitude to those that fight for it sucks. It's embarrasing and as Max says, it makes you wonder why you bother.
