The new BA tier points structure sets impossible hurdles even for frequent flyers regularly using business or first.
I have always planned my extensive and expensive global travel through London to use BA. These days are over.
I will now use whatever airline is most convenient and competitive. It will make travel planning easier. I can make more use of other airlines whose business and first seats are far superior to BA. Hello Emirates, Qatar, Singapore, Etihad etc.
I have BA gold for life so it no longer matters how much I use BA. I also have Group 0 status which is meant to allow priority boarding. But, like yesterday in Nice they could not even be bothered to call it. Same in London for plane to NYC. BA can’t even organise an orderly queue at the gate these days , something you’d think would come naturally to a British airline given the Brit propensity to queue.
BA now run by numpties who put no value on long-standing, big-spending loyal customers, of which I’ve been one for 55 years!!
They can’t even get the little things right. I flew London-NYC yesterday in First. WiFi meant to be free and I needed it for work. But free wifi didn’t work. So I had to pay for it. The lovely crew embarrassed by the poor service.
I remember when my friend John King was the boss how proud the crews were to work for BA. Long gone. Crews are ashamed. No idea who runs BA these days. But he/she clearly useless. They’ve inherited the dead hand and cheapskate service of Willie Walsh, whose inability to determine what quality service meant began the long-running decline. He really was useless.
Crew moral is very low as a result. Passengers see it. Good crew people, badly led. They lost any pride on working for what was once ‘the world’s favourite airline’ — then a matter of pride for staff and country and passengers. Now BA is just another middling airline over charging over the odds for a level of service barely above the cheaper budget airlines. A business model with suicide written all over it.

@danielrichardbo @admglrh @OVOEnergy It’s right at the bottom. I intend to leave too, have a year left of an 18 month contract.
English

WTF, @OVOEnergy ? Casually doubling your EV charging rate? What's up - shareholders not rich enough? #outrageous #pisstake.
English

@emmaheady @admglrh @OVOEnergy I didn’t see that bit? So I can leave even if I’ve only been with them for two months? I have a year long contract. I’ll move to Octopus.

@danielrichardbo @admglrh @OVOEnergy Email says “We hope you'll stay with us, but you can switch energy suppliers at any time. If you're on a fixed-rate tariff, you can switch without "exit fees" by completing this form.”
Time to switch!

@OVOEnergy I assume there’ll be no penalty for people like myself who joined you for the 7p rate only to be told two months later it’s now 14p?

@sainsburys It’s lovely to see you were concerned enough to bother responding to this.
English

@sainsburys 3… and see yet another packet out of date, this one by five months. I did tell a staff member, but I couldn’t find the one I’d spoken to before. This is completely unacceptable.

English

@sainsburys 2… I’d eaten half of it. We checked the rest of them and almost all were out of date. He gave me £30 in vouchers and assured me it wouldn’t happen again, so to be honest I left happy, thinking it was just one of those things. So imagine my surprise when I’m back and

@sainsburys 1… On the 1st August I bought some bacon jerky from your West Wickham branch. I opened it as soon as I got home. It tasted funny so I checked the expiry date… 15/07/24. Yep over a year out of date. I went straight back and showed one of the managers there.

@Uber_Support I’ve been waiting since the 14th May for you to deal with my enquiry, and since asking for all my details including credit card info you’ve done nothing and are ignoring all DM’s. This is simply not good enough.
English

@Uber_Support @UberEats @UberUK @UberUKI_Support Can you please at least have the common decency to give me an answer to this query, which is almost two weeks old now?
English

@Uber_Support sent you a DM last night, Still waiting for a reply. You took almost four hours to deliver a grocery order. This was after you’d cancelled the original order after over an hour. So five hours total.

@thameswater I have a sewer leak in my garden. You have attended twice and been unable to clear. You have booked a vacuum truck for today which has not yet attended. Your help centre are of no help at all, and keep stating 24 hour call back… When is the lorry coming. 01060428

@ubereats_uk The help section on your app won’t allow me to report an issue, and my DM’s aren’t getting sent to you. Make contact with me so I can report.

@Se_Railway My first time getting the morning train to work in years, and still you’re having problem with the signalling system around Lewisham, making me late. You are… and always have been an utter shambles.
English

@KFHproperty Thank you for your concern and detailed reply regarding this 🙏🏻

@KFHproperty @lbofbromley I’m completely baffled that whoever put this up thinks this is okay. It’s almost entirely in the road and at car height. If the car in this photo moves forward, it will hit the sign. Kent Road BR4.
