I want to see pro Cruz comments. I am genuinely intrigued by anyone who defends this clown and the other wallies at Waterside. BA are getting absolutely slaughtered in the press and rightly so. Unabated cost cutting, non existent comms, dreadful PR.......no surprise to anyone on FT, but gradually the wider world is waking up to the travesty that is unfolding with our airline.

If a friend cheats me out of 50 Euro and I complain to him about it, I'm not "indicating a desire for compensation". I'm telling a friend "Hey, you cheated me out of 50 Euro!". Not everything in life is about the money itself. I'm pretty sure that's the OP's point of view as well.

It's certainly not an excuse but the current outrage won't tricker major structural changes. They'll tweak their current IT systems a little and hope that this won't happen again. Existing customers will leave for other airlines. In a month or two, LH/AA/UA will have their next strike/incident/outage and their customers will find a new home with BA.

It's almost humorous how some things are interpreted here. Being irritated at something costing me twice what I'd expect it to cost does not translate to being a desire for compensation for the extra cost. It translates to...*ding ding ding*...being irritated at something needlessly costing me twice what I'd expect it to cost.
If a friend cheats me out of 50 Euro and I complain to him about it, I'm not "indicating a desire for compensation". I'm telling a friend "Hey, you cheated me out of 50 Euro!". Not everything in life is about the money itself. I'm pretty sure that's the OP's point of view as well.
