New Exec Club Reward
Frequent flyers jaded by free flights will soon have an alternative: redeeming their mileage points for a course on how to survive plane crashes. British Airways is to offer members of its Executive Club the chance to benefit from a four-hour session on air safety, The Independent has learned.

How funny.
So when the worst happens, as one of BA's "richest" passengers plummeting towards the earth , I will be able look back towards the economy section with a smug look on my face safe in the knowledge that I have learnt the secret of surviving the upcoming impact
Another statement from the author with which I beg to differ...

Yes indeed. I remember it well as I was going out through T4 that night and the airport was backlogged by the closure of the Southern runway and the roads all around were gridlocked AND it was pouring with rain!!
I suppose it depends on the categorisation of a 'crash' and was it a 'crash landing' or an 'emergency landing' etcetera.
As to survival in a prang, it is well known that one of the safeest places is in the very back of the fueselage. But I have always taken comfort from knowing that I shall die more comfortably at the front.
