I got given the option to have it on my PC the other day, pressed the option to accept and it glitches out instantly and gave me the original one back.
Today was given the option when viewing MMB through the iOS app. It looks good on the phone although it does require some more digging to reach the information that you want (and then you end up with the old version anyway!).

thankfully you can switch back.

New MMB looks stupid on desktops - far too much white space.
Also big loss of functionality - for example nowhere to add OnBusiness number that I can find? (had to revert to old version)

LOL! Like IT folks with advanced degrees are going to work in aviation. There is a lot of competition for the sort of folks that know what they're doing, and aviation is pretty much a dead end for them these days.

I know quite a few IT professionals who would happily work for BA (including myself). The problem is in bean counters - professionals are way too expensive, so they keep getting undergraduates and interns.

Indeed, the accountants are an issue. But if you've never worked in aviation, it's different than your usual IT gig, there's a lot of legacy stuff, because it's certified. You're also a 'cost center'. I've worked in Aviation, and I don't think I'd go back unless I was fairly desperate.

I feel I have to ask: When there are so many existing little bugs in MMB and associated website areas, who thought that the expenditure of IT resources on doing something comestic like this was a proper priority?

Absolutely agree with this. The new MMB page does not show what fare class flights are booked in. This is easily found on the old version.
