Or are the poor sods squeezed in the back in fact subsidizing the fat cat in the front with his miles of empty space which is not actually generating any revenue?
In fact, I think it is those poor WTP passengers who actually contribute most to the BA profit on a per square meter of aircraft floor basis. So let them have an occasional Black and Green choccie rather than a mini-Twix. It's not going to change anybody's world.
