Well Done to the Crew
Well done to the BA2157 crew yesterday, we have one guy coming upto WT+ numerous times on the TATL leg of the flight.
On the tech stop he dumped himself in CW, then moved himself to WT+. Crew caught him out, he originally claimed he downgraded himself from CW to sit with his friends, but when they asked for his BP, (as the knew the load for our emptyish flight) they saw he was WT and turfed to the back. Like a dog with his tail betweek his legs.
It was your typical chancer, classy type who we noticed walked around the whole flight with no shoes or socks on... was glad to see him sent back.
I know there are a lot of complaints about the shuttle fifth freedom flights, but we had a great crew on it

Has everyone finished with criticising the OP for not saying which route? Good. Not exactly welcoming to a relative newbie and Bronze, is it.
Now, is anyone going to agree that the crew did the right thing? Or express approval for the fact that they checked?

Glad crew spotted this - I wonder how many people get away with it.

I was thinking that but I guess the point is that with the most vocal critics being Gold there may be suggestion of Tierism and as an equal opportunities message board this is to be discouraged 
Back to the original topic, well done to the crew for the way they handled this. You do get some wrong uns on flights.
