Diplome I certainly hope that BA recovers but time, experience and history are against them. When I read further in the thread today:
Skylion
BA's cabin crew rest periods are generally way above CAA requirements and are configured in such a way- ie occupying all but the first couple and last of hours of long haul flights,- that mid flight meals are not possible,notably in World Traveller.Too often "To Fly to Rest" seems to be the guiding principle, and what I say about the resultant difficulties with 12 hour plus daylight flights are as I describe.
Then you know it's serious! I was unaware of the no meals in the middle because I have avoided BA on 10hr+ sectors for 20 years. I did a couple of NYCs in WT and one to JNB in WT+ and they were reasonable.

But I gave up on BA after the Dirty Tricks effort. They did not need to do that and I only use them as last choice. Which is a pity because they are a good airline. Again, it gives me no pleasure to say these things - but BA is in their last phase.
