Never mind, when BA goes tits up, you’ll still have Gold Status on the pretend plane you made in self-isolation where you make your own engine noises.

Me too! I am still hoping to renew Gold by January. Fingers crossed my trip to Singapore happens in June only have 80 tier points at the moment, was supposed to be closer to 500 by now.

Ah... You may not be aware then...

Will British Airways extend your status due to coronavirus?

Genuinely hope they carry my BA Gold over into 2021, no chance of keeping it with all these flights cancelled!

I'd be mad at the latter. A Lady needs her tier points!

Madness. All it needs is some hand sanitizer as people come in. Even that is too much.

Corona already impacting my business

Anthony Constantinou says “Its true among all of the severe outbreak of coronavirus, odd effects on people and the economy, the work impact has been the most visible and drastic. Businesses have been messing up to reform adjustments they can make for keeping workers safe, contain the spread of virus and continue working.”

Working and billing 7 days a week for the foreseeable future. It's a bit Berlin April 1945 TBH.

Corona impacted my business on Monday morning. Felt like tulip all day. Too old for midday drinking before a work day now

The last flights I did, the booking agent forgot to switch to the codeshare, and booked me on the metal. No tier points, and only a couple of hundred avois.

"All recruitment has been put on hold because of the impact of Coronavirus is having/could have on the business"

WTAF?

I have news for you. There's hardly any business which is not impacted by Coronavirus. And it will get worse before it gets better
