BA will continue to refine, that refinement will happen quickly if they think revenue is being impacted. The world we had were people were making gold from one week away once a year was clearly unsustainable, for sure the changes could have been introduced in a much better way but changes were always coming!
Yet one of the Baxter Storey managers told me yesterday that the CCR and Flounge have been noticeably quieter since mid October. When I came through yesterday lunchtime, the Flounge was showing at 40% occupancy
