It does smell like absolute $hite.
Either their IT infrastructure is a complete bag of spanners and has multiple single points of failure which can bring down every single system, or there's a very different story to come out.
Well done to the union for shoe-horning in the off-shoring of jobs, but I can't see how that's got any bearing on this. Unless of course their infrastructure designs were done and signed-off by someone in India who has just got their A+ certificate (is that still a thing?) and is now head of design.Comment

They lied about power surges and the electricity suppliers pointed out they were lying so it is extremely likely BA are lying now.
In this case BA must have come to some "agreement" with the contractor.
BA are not saying they are suing him or any companies involved which they should be saying."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by Paddy View PostNo, they are seamless. The UPS generator monitors the A/C sinewave. Once the power goes down , the battery kicks in matching the sinewave and then the generator starts. There is not even a millisecond delay.
It should be nigh on impossible to drop a load like that if designed even vaguely well.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

I noticed another lie BA has told -
linky
The BA website suggests that customers should initially make a claim on their travel insurance for expenses such as meals during the delays.
But the Association of British Insurers (ABI) and a consumer rights expert say responsibility is with the airline."Looking at the claim for expenses online, once you start the online process, it suggests that you should claim from your travel insurance first. For EU flights, this is in breach of EU law - the airline must pay for reasonable expenses, For all flights, BA even says this as part of its terms and conditions," she said.
So anything coming from the mouths of BA is a lie."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
