I especially love the one that says Please Do Not Delete, implying that there's a really poor understanding of source control by someone. The second best is the commented out sections about exec club changes, e.g. "We are experiencing some technical difficulties as a result of recent changes to how you collect and spend Avios and you may find some things don't work as expected. We are working hard to fix the issue as quickly as possible." Why this is maintained in the live code in the form a comment shows a lack of discipline in the client-side software architecture. And there's so much in there about tracking ad placement and stats around ads.

They do get my segmentation right (that I tend to sit in CE or F, that I based in PHX, and my most common discharge station is DUB).

I'm curious to know what the options are for FWD_BKG_TIME_IND.
