Loved that thread - lots of lapsed FTers whose names live long in the memory but who don't seem to post any more :(

Funny thing reading that is people moaning about the same stuff they do today on here haha

At least the breakfast eating printer had some sort of a conclusion.

Scienceteacher and OP have gone quiet.

I wish that the DYKWIA thread was more busy!!

With so few flying today, perhaps better to have a DYKWIOW thread. (Once was...)

If there was a DYKWIOW reward, I would claim it.
Those of us now blue do not get much for free!

“Everyone around us on the air gate could here you shouting “I’m a gold card holder” and “I’m in business class”. “

Profile says Cathay Diamond and Virgin Gold but not BA Gold ? I do hope you have the right person , I guess you must be very sure you do .

Oh My! This is every bit as good as The Archers. If it is true it just shows that one can never be too careful - indeed these days someone is bound to have a phone primed. If not then we may get an insight as to what all the fuss was about.

It is better than the current endless Archers monologues of woe.

This has the capacity to be a once-in-a-decade thread to go down in FT folklore but we need the OP back next :D

However, I must say if you were the chap shouting at the man in the chap in a red hat - who remained calm and collected though out - I think you need to in future take a step back and evaluate how you were coming across. Everyone around us on the air gate could here you shouting “I’m a gold card holder” and “I’m in business class” and frankly whatever the situation was; raising your voice to that level and being that rude to someone is simply uncalled for. The family in front and lady behind all commented how out of order it was.

I apologise if you are not the aforementioned chap, however, given your post I think you were.

Either way, the crew were indeed outstanding and I’m glad they calmed you down.

No matter what the situation, if you are the sort of person who would shout out loud for everybody to hear "I am a gold card holder and travelling in business class" you are a tool of the highest order! It is completely uncalled for and ridiculous, quite frankly!

Maybe I’m too British, but when I get annoyed I say nothing at the time and then moan to my family and friends afterwards :D

I've heard it a couple of times and I don't exactly fly a lot so I suspect it's quite a common phenomena. The last Gold card complainer I heard couldn't believe he wasn't closer to the front of the boarding line at the gate and he was flying in ET.
