In such case I should be more upset about SAU given to people on corporate tickets whereas your J ticket always costs less than mine which I pay for from my own pocket.
I think the real problem is that it bothers you who travels in which cabins - most people only care where they get to sit. You based your post on so many assumptions - that the staff member was midlevel or that she was upgraded. What is she weren't mid-level or what if she bought her own ticket or were entitled to sit in F?
Why not simply expect to fly in the cabin you're booked in? I don't even want to count how many times I flew in ET with CE empty and noone offered a CE seat to me...
And if you're so worried about enjoying luxury travel in these times why not suggest to your travel department to book you in WT or WT+ from now on... Perhaps you travelling in J or F sends a wrong message to the rest of your company's employees?
I trust that if BA put its employee into F then this employee belonged there and was more entitled to it than you were.
Refer to my earlier post about the overly aggressive nature of some people's responses on this forum. No further comment.
