Also, not excusing the crew's responses since they should be trained to deal with difficult people, but it doesn't seme like Ben was really helping himself. To take one example, when he said beets and she said goats cheese, he knew what she meant so why not just say 'yes'?
Never had a mixed drink on BA - is mixing it for the passenger standard?

I cant say I have ever had a bad club world crew, but to me at least they seem to be going through the motions a bit these days.
Back in the day you would get on a BA flight and all felt well with the world, it doesn't feel that way any more. While the service provided on the last flight was correctly provided, it came without a single smile or any interaction.
I actually find the crews in Club Europe to be more friendly than long haul.
The last flight I took on AA on Wednesday had an exceptionally friendly crew

400,000 miles per year? I'm calling BS on that.
That's about 115 LHR-JFK equivalents, or a return transatlantic flight every single week of the year. I know that there are many who do that as part of their 'commute', I don't believe that a blogger can regularly keep that up.

My A380 flight in F with wife and daughter in J was my last with the family on BA. To say they were amateur would be generous and every aspect of the experience from the boarding to disembarkation was awful. The senior crew member was only interested in her mother who was propped in the crew seat by the door. Since then its been AA going west and either CX or QR going east. The difference is simply astonishing. Its not that AA are blingtastic simply that they have a superb hard product and their crew seem proud to be working in/on it. The food is plain but you get your first choice. QR and CX however are own a different level altogether.
