While I was in here I spotted S***** which surprised me as she's been an employee in the BA lounge for well over a decade. It sounds like all the BA lounge staff were made redundant and shortly after Compass were looking for additional staff up here and a number of them moved up. A good news story for those staff members.
Thats interesting.. I hope its the same S______. She always remembers me even though I don't visit that often. I am soon to be gold but I would be a bit miffed if Silver and didn't get lounge access.

Is BA actually getting a new lounge in ABZ or will this be a permanent arrangement ?
