it’s iffy if they don’t proactively notify every passenger on the flight of the cancellation and their rights. They can’t take the benefits of the strategy for the F to J downgrade pax and deny WT pax the right to a refund on the basis the flight is still operating. Would be interested to see a sworn witness statement from BA on that aspect...
