I guess from your last paragraph that you're angling for status promotion or extension: it isn't going to happen. Might seem easy and cheap to you, but not when multiplied up by a few 100k. Same goes for any goodwill gesture.

So what you're saying is that what has happened (because of BA not adhering to rules and laws) is OK and we all should just move on? The logical extrapolation of this is that it's OK for all online businesses not to adhere to data security standards. Of course BA has liability to their customers.
