BA Directors Spared Y2K Flight of Fear (Silicon News) Two corrections (of articles summarized Jan. 15 and Feb. 1). Jan 15: y2kreview.com Feb 1: y2kreview.com ================================================== British Airways did not order its executives to be on airplanes during the date rollover. BA confirmed that it had issued a memo in which this rumor (apparently it was only a rumor) was denied. A BA spokeswoman commented: "We will be flying normally over the millennium and our directors won't be flying - unless they are going on holiday." And as for the original Chinese story in which Chinese airline executives were so ordered as well -- it "has turned out to be untrue, according to the news site that leaked the BA memo. The site, called 'Tasty bits from the technology front'- tbtf.com - claimed an employee at the Chinese Civil Aviation Authority made the suggestion as a joke."
