I'd just like to say, in a slim shady sorta way:
I'm Captain Birdseed, the real Captain Birdseed, all the other Captain Birdseed's are just imitating...
Since my colleagues who know me might be rather disturbed if I'd posted the previous comment...
Sorry this doesn't contribute to the thread, but I had to say this lest I get lynched for inappropriate speculation or something!
T'ta
PS I suppose in answer to the original question: No way. Even if the war for some miraculous reason didn't affect air travel, BA would surely batten down the hatches just in case. Why risk it?
