Default British Airways flies planes empty because it lacks flight attendants

British Airways has admitted flying dozens of "ghost flights" across
the Atlantic, with only pilots and cargo aboard (and no passengers),
because it doesn't have the crews to staff the flights with
passengers:

Some of the ghost flights are apparently flown just to keep slots at
major airports active, even though every ghost flight burns tons of
fuel.

Why don't they just hire more FAs?



Maybe they could just get some virtual attendants and pax, eh?

Now if I could just get BA to pay me for the box they lost on a f&^*%$##
airfreight I had shipped over in March.
