As @
teledude says, he booked months ago and couldn't find anything more to the front than 11F. BA has known the exceptional distribution of passengers long beforehand and IMHO, should have had more than ample time to fix staffing for the flight.
perhaps the business case isn’t there to add additional crew, clearly people are prepared to pay, or use up their avios, for the flight.
In any case, a meal towards the end of a flight may be an advantage, if you’ve had something in the lounge beforehand.
