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.
They did - assuming A320, it would normally be a total of 4 crew - 2 in CE and 2 in ET but sounds like this flight had 5 crew. I’ve seen crew come forward from ET to help too when they had the ‘long’ meals which seemed to take an age to deliver. You’d think a single tray would be quicker but maybe having 3 choices and full bottles slows things down.
