BA freighters? Hmmm.

After eagle eyed crew revealed the truth about mounting cancellations by simply monitoring BA.com. They are now attempting to conceal cancellations and empty departures by removing the F for “Freighter” prefix to the flight number and instead have added a one so the BA039 becomes the BA1039 in the departures. To the untrained eye it looks as though many more flights are departing. They are not, these are empty positioning aircraft because they have no crew
Well the BA website shows pax tickets available for Tuesday's BA1039. And also for numerous other BA1039's listed after the strike period. Clearly not in fact empty freighters with no crew. One would have thought that the aforesaid "eagle eyed crew" would either have knowledge of BA codes first hand or have thought to check their information (and of course tell the truth)
