BA is in an effing mess at the moment,see that X amount of "managers" had to resign because of the Terminal 5 fiasco,I mean that whole thing has been a cock up of epic proportions,just glad am not flying anywhere soon.


Asmartins I totally support you and the rest in principle, but id be bold-face lying to you if I said I was supporting you in action...for reasons I have already stated, ad-nauseum.

But you know that expression..."those who don't hear,must feel"..???


Maybe its only a matter of time before I get skanked by BA and then i'll come bawling,I hope it doesnt happen coz I dont relish the alternative carriers.

Also I didnt realise the Nigeria route was that lucrative you guys could really kick some ass if you're organized and vehement enough.

I sincerely wish you well

Here's another...

Passengers removed from Flybe flight
A party of 30 business travellers were escorted off a plane before it took off from Glasgow to Belfast City last night.


Following allegations of serious disturbances and drunken antics on the aircraft shortly before take-off, police removed 30 passengers from the aircraft, a scheduled Flybe flight which was due to leave Glasgow at around 8.30pm on Wednesday bound for Belfast.

On top of the alleged rowdy behaviour, the captain had passengers removed after smelling alcohol in the main cabin.

Those thought to be involved remained in Glasgow, while the 17 passengers left aboard were flown to Belfast International Airport after a three-hour delay.

A statement from Flybe said: "The captain discerned a strong smell of alcohol in the passenger cabin, and in the interests of passenger safety and comfort, he off-loaded the aircraft.

"Given the subsequent late departure of the flight it was diverted to Belfast international where passengers were bussed to Belfast City Airport on arrival.

"Passenger safety is paramount in all of Flybe's operations and an investigation is under way to ascertain the full circumstances of this incident.

"The 17 passengers who travelled should contact customer services in Exeter to seek a refund."

@Astmartins

No Easter is not considered the 'festive' season and not many, if at all, Nigerians go home for the Easter break. The 'festive season is Christmas and New Year.
You are grasping at straws.

@Think
I think you trying so hard to make this between me and you...its bigger than us its about Nigerians being taking for granted despite accounting for a sizeable fair of BAs profit

Its people like you that would explain why Africa and in particular Nigeria is in the state it is..all talk and rhetoric and no action..its our goddamn money BA needs our money yet we are the ones being lectured by a Nigerian on how to conduct oneself..
To be honest Nigeria doesn't need UK or even the US..Nigeria has the oil they need the oil they should be calling the shots like the Arabs and Russians and increasingly Venezuela do...Nigeria can trade within Africa without having to do anything with the West...
This is the same Nigeria that allowed the elite from a group of marauders cattle rearers at most the Hausas rule 120 million people for donkey years turning the Igbos-Yoruba and the other tribes into lame ducks...and in the process mortgaging the country first to the UK then to IMF....you exasperate me!!!
one more thing you need to sort your out your allegiances...just because you get a good service you sell yourself short you paid for it didn't you??...or do you usually pay for bad service or it makes a difference that YT is serving you??
Yet what do people in Nigeria do ???.....have countless probes that always by magic disappears after a couple of months all those corrupt imbeciles so called ex-governors are walking free yet the papers and people only talk and deliberate a bit like you really..This is why I like Mugabe in a twisted way..

Now if you want to do something worthwhile just follow the link...shouldn't be too hard

The Story at Respect Nigerians Now

I don't why you would say the highlighted above?

As I have stated, your cousin got his just desserts for interfering in a court ordered deportation order. I have not said anything personal about you so for you to somehow think that way begger's belief!

Nigerians, like you, can continue with your calls for a BA Boycott. As far as I am concerned it will only serve to make us look more like a bigger bunch of ignoramuses than we are thought to be already.

If you aske me, there should be a ban on all direct flights from Nigeria to the UK...then we will see which group of people will lose out the most. I, for one, wouldn't like to spend 11-12 hours in transit just to go to Nigeria, when it should take just 6 hours but then maybe that will teach some Nigerians, such as your cousin to behave appropriately on flights, sit his a$$ down in his seat and to mind his own business!

You know the law: Guilty until proven White.

BA seem to be the most obnoxious crew going. They used to bill themselves as the "world's favourite airline". I bet they wouldn't dare run an ad like that these days.

Frankly I'm surprised more people don't phone them up and say there's a bomb on one of their 'planes. (I'm not suggesting this though; it would be illegal! Don't do it. But I am surprised with so many outraged customers it doesn't happen more often.)

Maybe that last paragraph was said in jest but I personally would like to distance myself from it I think BNV should also,God knows what type of nutters read this forum and I dont wanna read any shit in the newspapers about "Someone on Blacknet suggested I do this" when they are hauling his/her ass into jail!!!
