OT: BA going modular
 

Or so the headline would suggest :)

LOL at least the hungry are offered something on BD even if they have to pay for it, looks like its pretzls and coke to stave off the hunger for BA pax

Hope this strike is finished in a couple of weeks I have a cw trip LHR PHL which I dont fancy starving on :(

Isn't there a story about a Monarch flight in LAS that was left with no catering so the pilot got Pizza hut to deliver enough beautiful beautiful pizza for all 300 odd on board? Or did I dream that :confused:

BA should give it a go, it might catch on!

Today could have been bmi's big opportunity. No doubt some would-be BA passengers will travel on bmi where the two airlines complete. Today could have bmi's chance to shine and show that it was a serious competitor to BA, and maybe even change a few people's travel preferences. Sadly however, its ironic that the BA problems happened just after bmi introduced their hopeless modular concept, as I suspect that any BA regular who does try bmi today will be sufficiently discouraged that they'll go straight back to BA when the problems are over.

Indeed - I was feeling rather lucky that I had booked BD for my AMS-LHR this evening rather than BA, just because I needed a one-way and the miles were enough to get me *G until 2007.

But I'm actually dreading to see what's happened to bmi!
