This is interesting, you could potentially argue BA passengers were worse off, having to move flights to 2 or 3 days later, missing days of a holiday or cruise departures. As me tioned above Thomas Cook passengers abroad have been told to enjoy their holiday as their return flights are expected to be at a similar time thier TCX flight would have been.

Anyway, I guess BALPA announcing no action until the repatriation is complete is doing the CAA favour more than BA as it allows the CAAto Confidently put people on BA metal.

With the current crew shortages and 787 engine issues I can only imagine BA are offering up spare capacity on scheduled flights, I can't imagine they have capacity to run charters outside of city flyer?

I wonder if we will see a 'I'm annoyed as a repatriated TCX customer got upgraded ahead of me' thread before this is all over :-)
