It is interesting to note that you "expect full assistance" from BA in the event of MAN Shuttle cancellations. I hate to break this to you, but in practice you are left entirely on your own. "Go back home, sir," they say. "I'd like to. I've paid you to fly me there," I reply. You might as well book with a no-frills carrier. My opinions are not tinged with resentment at BA for not operating a MAN network. If you check my posting history, you will find numerous postings in which I defend BA's right to operate according to whatever business plan they choose. They are a for-profit PLC. No, my opinions are tinged with a "you'll never get another chance to strand me again whilst prioritising everybody else's journey" sentiment. Now, is that clear enough? Your assumption is misplaced.
