It's looking like you can't bring yourself to do it, which is why I want to give you one further chance. Is it because you acutally think in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter if nasty corporate BA has to pay off these baseless claims, even if people are prepared to lie to get the money?
The Saint, you know that I agree with you that the validity of these tickets will be different from person to person: the infrequent traveller who happened to see a great economy fare and didn't know it had to be an error is, I think you agree, entitled to hold BA to the ticket.

But whilst you gladly condemn anyone who tries to take advantage of the ticket knowing it was an error, you seem to have no problem with BA having blanket cancelled all the tickets despite the fact that that means that BA is walking away from a number of contracts with perfectly innocent travellers. So BA has taken a commercial decision to cancel some valid tickets. Do you condemn that?
