It always amuses me how much BA sop's are debated by those outside the airline. If you're in BA then you have operate with BA's sop's, if your not in BA then don't worry about it - and if it really concerns you don't apply to work for them, simple enough.
Oh and why would somebody call themselves speedbird 744 then enquire about BA sop's - worrying!
