An epic twitter complaint tonight and looking at his tweets he is always like this

​​​
Wow @british_airways your standards are seriously slipping. Gold exec club members sitting in 1A and 1C on #BA1466 and your staff elected to serve 1F first.

No apology, just oh he was closest (which he totally wasnt)

The race to the bottom has broken your brand.

I did think it was a parody at first, but no, he apparently really is that much of a [redacted, but Im sure you can guess]

I heard 1F was a knobhead anyway - although he did enjoy his tomato and mozzarella salad

Am I to understand from this tweet that he actually asked a crew member why he wasn't served before 1F??
I assume he had seen the manifest/iPad and knew they weren't also Gold/GGL/Prem...??

Wow. My only comment is I really really wish I had been there...!

EDIT: looks like somebody was!

If only someone could reply to that tweet to let him know that 1F outranked hm, and the CC were clearly just trying to let his ego down gently...

The replies on the thread are well worth a visit. I predict this tweet is likely to be deleted.

I enjoyed the juxtaposition of this tweet with his little tantrum for not being served first.


Looks like the 'Cloud Specialist' left his head in the clouds.

The irony is obviously lost on him, equal treatment so long as his demands take priority:

This guy wins the annual DYKWIA award, and it's only March.

He's onviously downplaying his status on his tweet though if he was really in the Concorde room to complain about the tv channel - he would be GGL surely unless he was connecting long haul in F, or perhaps he's only a 97 GGL...

I can imagine his anger if they had only loaded one salad and the person in 1F got it, I guess you would have had to have been there...

EdIt, : he's now deleted the tweet but its total DYKWIAedness will forever be preserved on this thread...
