There was also a Captain talking about a failed BT network link, but with the levels of network resilience available to even small businesses these days I'd hate to think that is the real root cause.

Thanks. Though it doesn't indicate that the failure was in SIP and even then the root cause would be drilled down further within that system. Plausible that the failure occurred there though

An alert from from BA?

Just landed at MAN on the BA1394 and when I left LHR everything seemed fairly normal, even Galleries North was fairly empty and seats by windows available and all showers unoccupied.

​​​​​If I hadn't read the news I'm not sure I would've noticed any real difference today.

FLY has just come back online according to gate staff at A20

Enough is Enough. I am caught up in this yet again. I will now vote with my feet and have decided to avoid BA if at all possible. I have loads of Avis to use, but will book onto other OW metal.

Goodbye BA, you used to be a good reliable airline.

I just hope we won’t need to change the thread title today.

See corporate-wage-slave’s post above. I believe it’s a back up system to FLY.

I've heard a rumour that on some flights they are using the middle seat in CE cabins to get as many on the plane as possible. Can anybody verify that?

Yes this is true, or at least it was yesterday - all crew were sent a message to this effect. It only applied to some flights not all. I’m not sure if it’s been extended to today’s flights.

It was also done on about 5 flights during the recent Swanwick outage.

Down again?
 
Lining up to board the 278 back from SJC tonight and they announced their IT system had failed once again. They rebooted and got two computers back up briefly, but we boarded manually, and pretty slowly. Going to be a slow getaway from San Jose tonight.

Any other reports of this? Or just a local SJC thing?
