BA's Noise Cancelling HeadphonesThat's right. BA's headphones in club world are noise-cancelling. They looked so old and decrepit that I was quite astounded.
The new beds are shit though. For all you plebs that have to sit upright, don't imagine it's any more comfortable. Yes, the stewardesses are hotter, and no they don't wear underwear, and yes they will pour champagne into your mouth from a tube where the oxygen masks should be (because we get all the oxygen on the plane - you losers are breathing synthetic air imported from India). The beds rock back and forth like you're on a see-saw. At least your maggot-class seats stay where you put them. TVs flap around loosely too. They flap away so you can't see the jittery on-demand film, then when you sit up to pull it back, it flaps back and smacks you in the face. On my first flight with these new seats there was an engineer tearing them all apart trying to stop them eating the passengers. On my third, the entertainment system just didn't work. At least they comped me 10,000 miles. Anyone know what *does* happen to all the used headsets? And who cleans up a 747 while it's sitting at LHR? More to the point, what happens to the used papers, cups, plastic bags and blankets? On top of all the carbon emissions, do they even feel the need to recycle? |
