tucky40 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Well im glad to say i wasnt me.........as wayne says its an excellent plane with an excellent safety record. The 777 is the newest and most modern aircraft boeing have made. As for lost baggage, thats the airport operator 'BAA' to blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 As for lost baggage, thats the airport operator 'BAA' to blame. I disagree How is it that BA lose so much luggage yet all other airlines out of the same terminals do not. Not BAA`s fault or any others airport operator. In my opinion its due to disgruntled BA baggage handlers having to work extra shifts as BA have cut staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 they are a crap airline ba, not so long ago one of their pilots clipped the wing with another aircraft, not only that they have lost so many customers luggage Do you mean this rather stationary BA plane which was hit by a moving Sri Lankan one? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7046931.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tucky40 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 You have a good point Wez.........BAs lost baggage numbers are so high for the simple reason that they have more passegers going through Heathrow and Gatwick than any other airline. Heathrow and Gatwick are the homes of BA.........these airports are run by the BAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucky40 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Faye is right.........it was a stationary BA plane that got hit by the sri lankan. See BA are great;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I didn't think actual airlines had baggage handelers - thought they were all just BAA? BA have there own ground services as do other airlines, there are also other ground services companies like ground star which are contractors for the airlines. BAA provide the facility.

I disagree with this as well The BA bags use the same sortation and scanning systems as all other airlines yet less BA bags get to the plane.

Kranz Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Seen the pics on BBC. Looks like the pilots did a good job! In the end it was a successful landing as everyone walked away Did the same myself a few years back.... landed short in the rough & damaged the landing gear. It was in one of these though: http://www.aeroclub-bad-neustadt.de/gallerie/Ka8_am_Boden.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 As a Frequent traveller on most carriers....I have no complaints of BA or BMI; in fact I find the service of BA much better than BMI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
