It's not really an EVA thing. I worked for Taiwanese companies for 10 years, mostly for the London office of public company, and later in Taiwan for a different company. Also Ms Jimbo is Taiwanese - so we joke about this mentality thing all the time. They are their own worst enemies. (Don't ask me to define "they".. better not say anymore, in case I get into trouble!!)
But nothing to be ashamed of. In my opinion, BR still does a great job on BR67/68. Getting expensive, perhaps. But objectively I think they (you) compare well on the routes I fly. Just BR has the knack of messing around in a knee-jerk way to some "top management" fad/bean-counting panic regardless of the cost to goodwill or other long term concerns. (Not that I know how to run an international airline!)
