Why can't they have both in the system? That it the "Welcome staff" can overwrite this above the status eligible situation?
Not sure how they are going to do this, remove the status based eligibility check and yet let pax travelling in none-F class with Emerald status to go through.
On a sidenote: Don't think I will be checking this out very soon since I have boycotted flying BA since they BoB to LHR.
Cheers!
