I find it sad that someone who travels in a ... er ... premium cabin on their annual holidays should be considered in that light.
I find it staggering that they would be expected to spend hundreds reserving seats. Even more staggering that the only reason put forward seems to be that they might upset some frequent flyer type, often flying on someone else's money.
I take your point. I have probably pushed the argument in favour a little more forcefully than is helpful in this thread.
A few things to add some context - I did pay the seat selection fee myself a few years ago when I was a blue/bronze and I knew about the fee when I booked. All of my BA/OW travel over the last two years has been paid for by myself and none by my employer.
