Feb 1st announcement - wild speculation thread
So BA are maiking a ‘big announcement’ tomorrow, what is everyone expecting?
To make it more entertaining you can include hopes, dreams and also dissapointly depressing unlikelihoods that will probably actually come to fruition
Dreams - F seat becomes J seat (it is afterall just ‘J+‘ right!), F seat becomes an EK type effort, only with 14 seats so we can still redeem
Hopes - New F dining in CCR and onboard to be rolled out inc. General upgrade plus Caviar etc to get some Vlogging headlines
Fears - Dynamic priced rewards that in effect equal a massive devaluation buried as news under a few models of retro liveried A319s

I except nothing, and am thus rarely disappointed.
In reality, there will be some fluff about enhancements that will possibly happen after I drop off my perch, or at best roll out slowly on routes I never use.
I fear tinkering with BAEC, to my personal detriment. YMMV.
I will be pleased to be proved wrong on both counts!
