Ulterior motive in starting with BA - to get miles and check out what it is like behind that curtain. Company intially favoured BA but that changed now to a race to the bottom.

Why continue with BA where I can? Fantastic crews (most of the time) and some "interesting" characters (yes, that's you lot).

It's nice to see a British Airways plane and its Union Jack tailfin after spending months in a back end of a backwards country.... you just know you're halfway home already with a G&T in hand, possibly served by none other than PUCCI GALORE herself!
