Indeed? Well, the posting is not always greener on the other side since that seems to be the only focus of this thread.

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/luft...ess-class.html

It reminds me of those parents who think that their kids are the only ones in the world to criticize their parents that much and go about trying to tell them: "see, little Mabel's mum also read her texts on her phone and told her she was never to write to that boy who said he wanted them to kiss again and Mabel found out that the boy was a psycho and thanked her for it, so see?"

So I am sorry to confirm that Flyertalkers from all airlines in the world tend to report it on their forum when their airline does not deliver part of the service that it is supposed to and which they care about, just like all the little Mabels in the world tend to be unhappy when they find out that their Mum has read their texts without their authorisation.

PS: Several of us have also regularly chosen not to claim EC261 compensation on BA when we were affected by eligible incidents and would have been entitled to it but thought that BA had done what it could to reaccommodate us and we don't expect a medal for it nor post in the AF or LH forum to suggest that it means that it is only AF pax who make such a big fuss about cancellations and long delays. It is, ultimately, a personal decision based on one's continuing relationship with an airline as well as handling of specific problems and impact of specific incidents.
