Some of you may have seen a report that the most senior BA executives were to be given unlimited free F travel with guaranteed seats (even if a paying pax was bumpped). Reported in "The Board Room" (a new mag aimed at Directors funnily enough) today that Willy Walsh has reversed the policy and implemented a policy that those entitled to Fee F tickets will be on stand-by and will get bumpped down if there are less than 3 F seats available.

Wonderful old Willy [y]

In this day and age, thats the way it should be, I understand that it is a great perk, but im sure the airline could use the revenue more.

Agreed, and as well as needing the revenue, I would be horrified at the implied message it sends out to customers - "Our executives are more important than any of you lot, so if necessary we will boot you off the plane to make space for them".

I'm sure they'll be able to pay for themselves;)
