Winter 2006 LHR-MIA Changes
 

On ba.com now. Good job BA aren't (isn't?) charging their (its?) staff excess apostrophe fees :rolleyes:

My English teacher would have a few things to say to them! :D

Sod the apostrophe ! They should move the MIA flights out of T3 !!!

So, the end of the great experiment of the "third daily service"! I wonder whether this was a problem with drumming up enough traffic at all, or just enough traffic at decent yields with better yields available elsewhere.

And what are they going to do with all that extra space in the Terraces lounge that they reclaimed for the start of the "third daily service"?Remember, they'd only move something else into T3 in its place. There's a reason why there are always some flights from T3, which has nothing to do with operations.

What puzzles me is why it's a long haul service at T3. Why isn't something like GIB more appropriate (or anywhere else short-haul with a single or two flights a day)?

I expect that they probably wanted a route that has the maximum number of LHR O&D pax and the minimum number of connecting pax. Whether MIA is the best for that, though, I don't know.

The flight actually did fine. BA isn't operating it this winter at the request of AA, who is upping MIA-LHR frequency.

Err?! On a route they can't codeshare on? Can't revenue share on? Can't allow FF members to earn or redeem on? Have no JSA in place on? AA just 'request' BA stop it and they do? I find that extremely hard to believe indeed.

Given the current hot topic of controversy, I would have thought that that might be considered anti-competitive, too.

OT- grammar rant

Well, off topic, but you brought it up. :p

BA is one company so you should say "BA isn't".

Just like you should say "England wins the football", not "England win". It's disgraceful how the English press get this basic grammar wrong. Actually it's the inconsistency that bugs me most, they will blend a "England do better" headline with "the team is doing better" in the body of the article (for example).

Now back to BA, even though it is British Airways, it is still a singular noun, not a plural.

Apologies for this rant. Feel free to point out my bad grammar or syntax, if ever it pops up it's ugly head. :)

Oh, alright then, if you insist :-

An "England ..." headline, surely? And indeed :-

Aaarghhh! The spurious apostrophe strikes again! :p

Damn, the apostrophe was planted but, a/an - you may have got me there. I thought the inverted commas broke up the sentence by giving extra emphasis to the "English... " headline making the bridging "n" between "a" and "English" redundant, but I can't find anyone in the office to back me up. :(

Anyway, did you know that in Australia, miami is the name for a crude shelter from the elements?

Now there's a punctuated remark that should give reason to pause! ^

The AskBA writers still haven't been given a grammar lesson:

British Airways has cancelled it's BA225 and BA224 services between London Heathrow and Washington for the Winter 2006/2007 schedule, effective 1 October 2006.

There are few things that annoy me more than bad speller's...
