Maybe the survival of BA doesn't matter to managers

That's a really interesting perspective. You might be right. If we take the example of cruises, with which I am becoming more familiar as the years advance, the old national lines taken over by...

BA management are girding up for a fight. They are notifying pax due to fly at the end of the month of cancellations scheduled more than 14 days ahead to avoid compensation payments in the event of a...

Extreme cutbacks are suffocating BA

The poor communications with pax (not for the first time) and the totally inadequate data resilience after the outage last year rather supports the pilots' contention that BA has lost the plot by...

Symptom of the times

I am about to fly BA long haul and some of the comments here and elesewhere have been very off putting. If I had a choice, I might have used another airline but the flight is part of a package....

Respect after an accident

Anyone who works with the bereaved and the dying knows that the one thing they absolutely hate is people going round with long faces and hushed voices, avoiding mentioning the d- word. Having...

Thanks for the replies - I have been away hence the long delay in acknowledging. Unfortunately I can't take a photo as they are banned in the cinema. I'll see if I can find the pic on YouTube -...

I’m not an airline pilot but a medic. In the end result, this is a similar crash to AF447 in that there was a very distracted crew in an aeroplane that had its automatic protections off, who were...

why do ezy need to overbook?
