Reply To: I got bumped from my seat on a 2-4-1 once again. Are 2-4-1 being targeted?

@LL. You know full well that BA are aware of both the Internet and EU261 responsibilities. You also know they get it wrong to save money, for every person that CEDR or MCOL for what they’re owed they’ll be hundreds if not thousands that give up at the first refusal. It’s not ignorance it’s economically the right thing, given there’s almost no downside to them denying. Until such time there is better regulation in regard to enforcement, the widespread rejection makes most sense.
I’d guess BA are in top quarter of airlines at accepting EU261, good luck going after many of the others.
None of the targeting 241 passengers has ever been established as fact. It’s an area of travel sites where a number of cases has been extrapolated into certainty by those that have had poor experiences with overselling and aircraft changes, and those that like to hate on BA. But all a bit random.
I’d never criticise the advice you give to people in regard downgrades and cancellation, but feel you have to choose your battles and there’s a lot about this thread that doesn’t feel right to me.

Doug I agree with most of your comments.

The key thing is we’ll share now, on here, just as the original targeting of passengers flying on 241’s for downgrade was originally shared on the internet, from here going forward.
