Just as well my wife wasn't there - not happy with them. She travelled to New York a couple of weeks ago with 3 friends to see Spandau Ballet and they rescheduled the concert - they were absolutely gutted. Many disappointed UK fans as a result of the American tour rescheduling. They still had a good time tho.

Princess Beatrice on Sunday LHR/\Dallas. arrived with boyfriend (maybe fianc now) at gate in car with special services. Noticed boyfriend in F but no sign of Bea, am assuming she was travelling in CW with protection officer. She popped into F cabin before takeoff for a couple of minutes and sounded very sweet. Overheard them telling fellow pax they were chatting to they were going to Aspen. Thought it just a bit odd that he was in F alone - also the fact he works for Virgin Galactic, surely he could have got a Virgin flight- he seemed very pleasant as well (think his name is Dave Clark or something like that).

You obviously have no respect for his profession, talent or craft, but trust me, if you saw the amount Eddie and his colleagues / team pay to travel on BA every year you might re-think who is the real 'cashcow' here.
Perhaps you might let us know what your job is and how much you spend with BA every year so that we can judge you too?

My job is in my profile and it's a bit more grown up than dressing up and playing pretend.
My BA spend was 30k (personal leisure) last year. I fly family and friends to places.
But most of my flying is done out of BQH.
And you?

I'm surprised however that you are not moved by the economic contribution of Eddie. UK film is worth 4.6 billion to the nation's GDP. UK film also employs over 44,000 people which is a lot more than the Hedge Fund industry (I have checked my facts, if you doubt this).
In answer to your question, I am a UK / US film producer and although I won't quote precise numbers on a public forum I can tell you that Eddie's 2014 spend with BA was significantly in excess of yours. He also flies family and friends to places, and happens to use BQH on occasion - as do I.
Anyway, going back to your original post, considering your fairly low annual spend with BA and your statement that 'most' of your flying spend goes towards private aviation anyway, I fail to see how you are a 'cashcow' to BA in comparison to Eddie and other actors who are at times photographed being escorted by BA staff.
