Oh dear. Looks like @British_Airways has lost the plot with a 'revamp' of the Exec Club to a revenue-based model that effectively puts 'useful' status out of reach. In a single move they've just lost business as people look at other options #avgeek #aviation

The American mind cannot comprehend this
Today is #NationalDrinkWineDay. Unfortunately for American sailors at sea, they cannot participate because U.S. Navy ships are dry. Their French counterparts are allowed two drinks per day. On the Charles de Gaulle, wine is available in the carrier's four bars.
