Thanks.
I have had BA tell me outright lies about flight delays being the result of strikes. Fortunately a co-worker was on the inbound plane that was late arriving. Once I let BA know that I was aware that the delay in his plane was due to a mechanical problem they relented and paid me what was due. If I hadn't known someone on the incoming flight I would have had a difficult time getting my compensation. My point is that BA will tell any story they can in order to avoid paying under EC261. Keep on it and don't give up.
