And if BA really let this go in front of a judge then I'd gladly risk the £60 to see their lawyer explain to a judge why this was not a downgrade. I'd probably pay more than £60 for that pleasure.
well it is certainly a loss of one element of the CE service, but it is not a downgrade to Y considering that all the other elements which remain unaffected.

fwiw, i have made my view known on this last time it happened and said BA should be pro-actively giving some compensation to those who booked CE and no longer have a unsold middle seat - maybe a £50 evoucher for most 1-2 hr flights, perhaps more for a ATH etc.
