I also don’t understand why most BA tech failures seem to be so utterly catastrophic. Everything fell over last night from the front-end of the website and app, to the booking system and the Executive Club to the stand allocation system and the staff allocation/bussing system. Why is there a single point of failure that can bring down all those things?
