        Laying off their UK IT staff and outsourcing to India was never going to end well. As usual profits come first so apologies mean nothing

        Racist. Why do you think UK IT workers are superior?

        Racist, ha ha. Indian outsourcing companies have no knowledge of BA legacy systems so when something goes wrong they can't easily fix it

        An apology for bad service from @British_Airways when it's a daily occurrence surely it's just normal service?

        I did. I just had my email read back to me, picking fault at my points. Nothing was investigated because "we get lots of complaints".
