Ah yes, I forgot about that. I already hated BA at the time that I was working in Germany, but during that time I came to absolutely loathe them. In 1993 I was on my way back to the UK. I had a business class ticket and my secretary had called that morning to confirm the reservation. When I got to the airport I was told that I had been "bumped" by BA because "the flight is over-subscribed". Since I was over an hour early for the flight I asked how this had happened. The reason was because an aircraft had been hijacked that day (a flight from Frankfurt to Cairo had been hijacked to the USA) that news teams had poured into Frankfurt and BA has decided that despite them not having reserved places it could not afford to upset the press, so it ditched all the regulars.
I wass able to transfer ticket to another airline much later in the day, and I haven't used BA since. If I ever meet any exec from BA I will be tempted to punch them on the nose. As companies go, they are right up there with British Gas, British Telecom and any other wanky former state-owned business with "British" in their name.
I wonder how many changes of management they have had since 1993. Can't you get over it? After all your resentment does not make any difference to them. The more you fly the more likely it is that sooner or later something will happen to you. Life is too short for petty grudges. We seem to get a bit hung up on flying issues - as another person put it - it perhaps relates to that luxury image that was created back in the '50's and '60's when it was supposed to be glamorous. I recall being given a set of plastic cutlery once by some rich relations who actually went on an aeroplane.
