They're all in a lather at BA
FLICKING through the letters page of BA News, I read the tale of an employee who was upgraded to First Class and soon discovered he could look but not touch.
He was reprimanded on the flight for "using the duvet which apparently costs £5 to dry clean and for utilising a sleeper suit, which I had left on an adjoining empty seat. This would have to be thrown away as it had touched my skin - lucky I said no to a washbag".
A spokesman defends the airline. "We have hundreds of staff on board every day. They can take advantage of all the services, but we ask them to decline the washbags on cost grounds. They are the most expensive item." More expensive than the food? "That's not what I said," she snaps.
