211. Two different responses to the same tweet -

1. Tone was totally off. He should have been more pissed at BA for automatically downgrading a ticket in a "family" group - especially a group where there were more children than adults without either giving the option to re-book everyone on another flight or asking for a singleton in Business class to either upgrade or take a later flight if possible to ensure a family group would travel together. I suspect BA overbooked as usual, and made the change without telling the group they were doing it.

2. Even if it was supposed to be a "light-hearted complaint", it was pretty tone-deaf. Sorry it sounded as if his wife couldn't handle 4 kids on her own for 10 hours. But ultimately, that is a first-world 1%-er problem, and someone in his celebrity position should always remember that 99% of the people who would be reading a public tweet can not comprehend his issue and would probably take it wrong if they hear him complaining about something that, while it may be an inconvenience or a slight to his privileged status, is the reality of their own existence.
