This is indeed a problem.
You are figuratively in 'the loop' on here and would (one assumes) know that the BA flights to MCO have been unaffected by the previous IA.
If you choose to move your travel plans from BA, what hope for those that scan the media and don't fully understand the mechanics of the BA IA ?
