No-one in their right mind would take ET in the expectation of getting a free DO&Co pudding. Or indeed pay for CE to guarantee one.

I suppose you're a BA employee. Well done: the CSM yesterday persuaded me that good service standards were returning. You've reminded me that they aren't, and that the company believes that nickel and diming their best customers is the way to go. The better staff, the ones you remember and who make you want to return, are actually being undermined by a dimwitted corporate policy.
