BA forum is Fun

I have been lurking here for ages and only recently began posting.
None of the other forums in Flyertalk seem to have the same entertainment value as the BA one...
PUCCI & MUCCI....
You F’cofee Sir...
and many others.!

Revives a jaded F traveller!!
You should see us on the QF board - we have even resorted to called Platinum members (OW Emerald in the QF program) w@nk@s in the official QF board terminalogy. Gold (OW Sapphire) are scum, and so on. And just about every thread inevitably degenrates into talking about beer. For further info, see this thread. I think there is a real JSA between the FT BA board and the FT QF boards.

Hi,

JSA= Joint Services Agreement.

In real life, BA and Qantas have a JSA on the UK-Austraila flights. ( I'm not sure exactly what it entails ie sharing of the filght revenues on codeshares etc)

Regards

OMiGod! Now this sounds like an Impenetrable Clique at work (ICAW) and you will make me very afraid to come and post. That is absolutely priceless!! I might even come and visit as part of the JSA! As I have no status - will you call me B@gL@dy??!!

I see that this has not put Midas off however and am delighted that this is the case.

You can't possibly be having a poke at me are you (YCPBHAPAMCY)? No, such things do not happen.

KiwiFlyer, I trust that you're not implying that our beloved Grande Dame of the Hairbrush would partner anyone other than HI. That sort of thing might be alright for Johnny Foreigner, and even for the lower social orders, but absolutely not in Surbiton. Whatever would they say in Bentalls?

I'll second the OP. The BA board rocks, and is DEFINITELY one of (if not THE) most fun reads on FT. Quite entertaining!
And, the BA FTers from this board that I've had the honor of meeting are equally quite awesome.

Thanks...you are too kind.
After afternoon tea there's evening ales , and whilst with friends at a pub last night, in honor of the other do that you are organising, I did have quite a few ales from Orkney.

Midas admires Pucci’s intellect and thinks he has met her on board!
BTW ...pucci discovered America (not the hairbrush) did you know?

Midas has just become a Mucci. I think that he earned that faster than anyone else.

Now we have been a little bothersome to Moomba - but he is sweetness in male form itself and I know that a little PM to him and he will do it when he has a mimnute. He does do other work - which is tedious - but pays for his BA flights and that keeps me in tights and lipstick so I really cannot complain.

HIDDY will kick off as he had to wait weeks but as he does not get out of bed until the crack of noon the rest of us will probably be on lunchtime gin n'slims.

Jenbel - is it over a year since Sheep and Dyongenes went to cruise the Thames on a Tea Time Tub??!

Midas clearly knows well how to treat a lady! Congratulations.

Yes this is the best forum on Flyertalk. Mixing bad behavior with real travel tips. Kudos to the moderators for not having jerky knees.
