I do not understand why no one is trying to police it, not even with announcements etc. On an A380, it makes for truly chaotic boarding experience.
Because no BA manager's bonus is at stake... I really do think it's that simple.
Group Boarding is becoming a Blairite-style policy: announced to great fanfare so that it looks like they're doing something then being allowed to wither and die
