Throw in the extensions, which are still happening for targeted BAEC members, and suddenly there was a lot of pressure on GC and GF.
Gosh, one year ago everyone was complaining that QR was doing this and LH and VS were doing that regarding extensions and that BA were doing nothing or were too slow to do anything, but now 'its all BA's own making' that too many people have status. BA just can't do a thing right.
Like the water from the leaking pipes in T3 and T5 eventually finds its level, so will the issue of people/status/lounge entry. Patience please.
