OK then let me ask this, if the guy in question is working while on the flight and can charge clients for it, then he can afford to buy the item in question. Still no reason why BA can't charge for the item.

BTW Final 3 Greens, this particular 'village idiot' tells the pilots (possibly on your flight) what to do and where to go. Perhaps you might like to mull over that one next time you are on one of your oh so important business trips. Your life could be in the hands of the village idiot.

I am assuming that competing for a village idiot prize is your hobby and that you are obliged to behave like a sensible person at work due to performance management arrangements put in place by your employers.

I reflect that TCAS overrides you if necessary, as can the captain, so I am not too worried dear, so you can stop your little hissy fit now, lie down, relax and stop trying to bite the hand that feeds you.

If you think TCAS is the be all and end all, then really are deluded. You must be the sort of self important pratt that cabin crew would love to tip hot coffee over.
As for biting the hand that feeds me, I didn't realise you were in fact an airport in disguise. Poor you.

Virgin's adapters in PE are the same kind that you can purchase on the plane. And Virgin do provide their own on loan for free. I've not had a single problem ever asking the c/crew for the right tip and a power brick for the laptop.

And yes, I do do some work in the air too, but once I've been fed and watered, I leave my work be and try to get some sleep.

Buy the thing at the beginning of the flight. Return it before the duty free bar closes at the end of the flight.

Or just ask me if Im on your flight, I never sell the damn things, I just rob them from First if no one is using them (we have some in the CSD's trolley on the 767 too) or just take one out of the DF trolley and put it back in towards the end of the flight!

Really? What a strange comment....I must have missed something so I'd better have a look around the Flight deck the next time I go to work and find out where this hitherto unknown Supreme Aircraft Commander is hidden....
