HF40, try not to split hairs. the price for choosing the seat is approx £82 then - does that make you happy now? By the way, I never mentioned BA!
SHF - same goes for you, try not to make yourself look such a fool
It's NOT sour grapes and I am well aware that we didn't have TVs for many years either, but that has nothing to do with it?
As an ex military flyer, I am simply asking a perfectly reasonable question of the civilain airline industry and get stupid remarks like those. Certainly in the military world I wouldn't have accepted the seat, and if the radar wasn't working, I wouldn't have accepted the aircraft either (an E-3D 'aint a lot of good without it!)
Anyway, to those who gave me sensible advice, sincere thanks. I'll go away now and compile a letter
