I wonder how many people book with other carriers because of this and also how much BA lose per year in money because of this. The paid for seat policy has been in for quite some time now itso must be working, very profitable and making well into six figures, maybe more, per year?

Enjoy your F trip and hope it's NF!
ex-LGW so as good as no chance of NF, but I can live with that.

I guess the issue is BA won't be able to accurately tell how many people don't book because of that. If I disappear off their radar they might assume my circumstances have changed so I can't afford to fly, rather than the fact i'm flying with someone else. (Anecdotal evidence suggests people like Trailfinders discourage clients from booking BA because of this policy.)
