On the matter of the matrix, I was flying Airbusses long before text messages were invented, so contrary to Jetsets assertion that it's all mates of pilots taking the club numbers over, it wasn't.
That wasn't what I said, Hand Solo. I actually said
late bookings and friends etc of ground staff/pilots/cabin crew. (I did add CC having realised it was missing but you may not have seen it before I deleted the whole sentence) However, on reading back I also decided that that was not only unfair but also irrelevant to the point I was trying to raise with regards the service standards, hence the fact I have now taken it out.
By the way, did you know the fish is Escolar and is banned in many countries due to the violent reactions some people have to it? Given that the pilots do fixed links at LHR and the crew meal may be the only meal for 8 hours, what do you think delaying to change to a non-poisonous fish might be prudent?
If that is the case, why on earth are we being catered with it?
