I think BA may well be on a sticky wicket on this one under the sexual discrimination rules.
They seem to have a written policy that discriminates against male's. I think nielperrin is correct and BA will find themselves not only settling out of court but then re writing their policy.
I'm neutral on their policy. I can see it's origins but i can also see the pitfalls as illustrated by JSL and Paddy.
Please can I ask a question here which is based purely on the ignorance of a concerned SLF who could recieve an UM SLF into the UK.
I have a really close friend who lives in Jersey who would like to send her daughter aged 7 unaccompanied over to meet me at LGW to spend a week with me. Apparently she can travel on BA aged 7 but I have not checked this myself. My friend seems to have gleaned this from BA somehow.
My friend also is under the impression BA will provide a chaperone? Is this correct? If so why do we have the seating issues/policies stated on this thread?
Paddy/JSL any info would be appreciated.
