The previous posters are correct with BA, they won’t change anything. I did get them once but that was because they messed up what they told me. We cancelled a flight due to my wifes dad having had a heart attack, I phoned and explained, they cancelled the flight and said ‘I can just rearrange the flights for whenever I wanted to take them no charge’. I phoned up to rebook and someone in the Indian call centre said i’d need to pay £1000 extra, I said no, passed about to various managers one of whom reviewed the call and agreed the person had said what I knew they had, got the flights rebooked ‘as a courtesy’. I have seen BA answering questions on social media re a missed first leg and its very much the whole thing is cancelled! I tried to cancel or postpone a flight when my Dad was dying and was told by the call centre I could keep in touch with him by phone from Cuba if I needed to. Think that was Virgin. You'd think the big legacy airlines would be more customer friendly than the budget ones but it's the other way around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drs Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 They have asked me to cover a phone whilst the person is out of the office for an hour - its taken me 25 minutes to notice that they have switched the ringer off and therefore I cant actually tell when a call is coming in. Decisions, decisions, decisions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Most folk in this office have a different ringtone for their desk phone. Despite this there are still folk who ask 'who's phone is that?' when one is ringing. These are folk who have been here for years. In a previous workplace a colleague started calling me 'Harry Potter' because I wore glasses. Such patter. She genuinely thought it was hilarious and some others found it really funny as well. Just awful chat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A total lack of wit. Sounds like an opportunity. You should be able to trace all life problems and health issues back to this cruel bullying, and sue the f**k out of her and the company. Obviously I'm not suggesting it was actually bullying, but they deserve it for the shite patter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
