British Airways is a strange beast

I got my plane tickets in the mail from British Airways today. Yes, in the mail. Apparently the magic of the internet and such things as electronic tickets are foreign to them, or if not foreign than at least vastly overrated. Unfortunately, these tickets only had "Cork" as the final destination and not the three letter abbreviation for Cork Airport. Normally this would not be a big deal, but Cork's abbreviation is, awesomely, ORK. Every piece of paper that says "Cork" instead of using ORK is a sadly wasted opportunity by the powers that be. Evidently British Airways eschews both ORK and etickets. For these reasons, I will never understand them.
