But who don't contribute anymore is what BA would say. For the purpose of full disclosure could you state when you left BA? I still find at least two 24 priority retired staff on most flights, who may well be denying a seat to 54 priority BA staff who are currently contributing to the present day success of BA.
This is well out of order Hand.
What difference should it make whether you still work for BA or not. If it was an entitlement before retirement you still have a right to use it irrespective of the fact you may take a seat wanted by a current BA employee.
I hope you think the same when you are in that position.
