This is between two phones. Literally has nothing to do with BA at all.

Had it happened at a zebra crossing - would they be tweeting the local council ? Sounds bonkers to me

I think we should get this thread added to the forum Dashboard. An almost unheard of combination of (a) unanimity between FTers; and (b) everyone agreeing that BA is not at fault!

it’s a user issue in not checking - and adjusting - their settings for their phone features.

Every time a new "cyber" word like this appears I wonder if there's an evil cyber-prefixy cult pushing their agenda. The correct prefix is "computery".

Say it with me: computery-flashing.

Equally disturbing to discover BA don't have a defined policy against murdering other passengers...



I mean seriously snowflakes, you demand
a corporation policy to tell you basic right and wrong??

What a lot of absolute nonsense! Nothing whatsoever to do with BA. If somebody wants to complain they should take this up with the police. Whilst I don't believe there is any specific law against sending lewd pictures to an adult, although it may constitute harassment, it is illegal to send them to somebody under 18 so somebody sending images to random people over Bluetooth could inadvertently find themselves on the sex offenders register.

Maybe they could have carried out an identification parade to find the perp.

(the answer is no)
I disagree ... TFL have a policy for dealing with anti-social/rude behaviour.

​​​​​​​The policy is simple, they should report it and facilitate any police investigation if needed.

I'm sure BA does too, but the issue here is that the perpetrator is apparently anonymous, so it can't really be approached in the same way.

What a load of b..... We don't need another policy to cover snowflakes. Disable bluetooth and if you don't like what you get report to police. Nothing to do with BA I am afraid...
