Poor timekeeping by BA

I took the Joburg to Cape Town flight on 24 April 15 (BA6419) which suppose to take off at 2pm. <br> <br> I made prior plans to meet some clients in Cape Town at 5pm.<br> <br> Well the plane only took off at 2:45pm - instead of posting a delay notification BA just kept us waiting in lines and then eventually in our seats. Very poor handling of the situation by BA, and not to mention messing up my plans in Cape Town.<br> <br> BA had no consideration for my time.<br> <br> I am also a BA executive club member (***3)<br> <br>
