I think the goose that has been killed are those travelling Club on business who choose BA to benefit from status on leisure travel. All of a sudden there are better options…
You’re right about that. There is also a sizable, forgotten group that travels in economy for business but wouldn’t dream of doing that for leisure.
As a CEO, I wouldn’t want to be seen in Business Class on a short-haul business trip; the optics are terrible. And I know a university Vice Chancellor who, again, always travels in Economy for business trips, even long-haul; it’s the optics, again. But both of us always travel in Business Class if we’re paying for ourselves.
…If you can’t complain about what you’ve got or what you think you’re missing out on, what else is there to complain about?
Immigration.

I applaud your views on CEO travel! It does seem to be a cultural thing though. We have a good friend who now practises law in Asia having been educated, done his professional training and spent most of his life in England. He says that if he doesn’t exhibit all the trappings of wealth, important clients aren’t interested as they think you’re a loser.
