This is not as black and white an issue some would have us believe. Until such time an event occurs where BA tries to enforce its claimed right to reprice an itinerary for a dropped final sector (and there is no evidence that this is even under consideration) then this remains moot and no reliable conclusion to enforceability can be arrived at until the matter comes before the courts and any points of law have been argued and settled.

There also appears to be some confusion in the mind of Davidxg as to the role of an Ambassador on this forum. He does not appear to appreciate that we are not British Airways Ambassadors but FlyerTalk Ambassadors and as such we do not speak on behalf of British Airways nor do we have any motivation to protect BA or its reputation.

I act for (and advise) a number of international airlines (not including BA) and I am aware those airlines read these pages. They also know my identity. I do not bite the hand that feeds me and for that reason I choose not to get involved in any detailed legal discusion that I may be called to offer an advice or argue on behalf of my client airlines.

I have received a number of messages alerting me that an individual on my FlyerTalk ignore list has, yet again, taken the opportunity of trying to poke me and demean. It is sad he finds it necessary but I will not now, nor in the future, respond to his goading.
