Bottom line: Since it would have cost about 150,000 Euro to pay to the
passengers for a delayed flight, the question now is this: Did BA lose
150,000 Euro worth of image/marketing/PR by flying on? My guess is a
firm "yes."


If the captain came on the intercom on a normal flight and said, "ladies and
gentlemen, if we shut two engines off for the remainder of the flight, BA
will refund 1/3rd of your ticket price," I suspect you'd get around 75%
voting yes.
