BAH
Actually I think it is relevant because she makes it relevant. Her "disclaimer" says:

Code:
Views and opinions expressed are mine and not necessarily those of my employer, British Airways.
By writing this, she explicitly mentions, on every post, that she works for British Airways. Writing exactly the same disclaimer without mentioning the company by name would clearly be more than sufficient. The only reason for including the name is to say "I may not be officially speaking for BA, but I work for them so clearly my view should have more weight". This leads to her often heavy-handed tone and "laying down the law", as in the case of this thread.
