I was aware of business class on Icelandic not including lay-flat seats, and Condor leasing aircraft that may not be totally up to the standards of others, so this is just one more lesson. I actually intended to warn others of this policy, as I don't lurk on forums just to ..... and condescend. My apologies to those to have been offended by my ignorance, and my thanks to those who have expressed empathy as having learned a similar lesson.
Well the way I would put it is just avoid BA if paying for seats (and as noted you don't have to) is something you just object to. No need to get emotional about it really, just make a consumer choice based on your personal preferences. Some people will agree with you, some won't.
If you come and express an opinion on an internet forum and expect everyone to agree with you, then I am afraid you are always in for a disappointment - and tbh it would make for a very dull FT
