I flew to Rio recently on BA. The whole experience was of the highest order. I boarded the aircraft, said I was CX staff and asked if there was any chance of an upgrade, within 5 minutes the CSD had gone to the cockpit asked the Captain and returned to give me the good news. I sat in Club World the entire way. Would this happen on CX for us let alone other airline staff, like hell it would!
On the same flight an elderly gentleman with diabetes had been sick over himself during the night so the cabin crew, cleaned him up made sure he was ok then placed him in J class! Meanwhile I was only offered economy food for brekky but the girl couldn't have been more apologetic, in the end I had to remind her that I had been upgraded!
This was all from a so called 4 star airline.
