Any source for this conjecture?

T7 issues are not just internal or whether Keith Williams likes it or not - but gate space - which cannot accomodate more than a very limited number of 77Ws (and the CX, ANA, and recent BA179 max that out) and won't fit the A380.

This has n't changed, so no one should get their hopes up that BA JFK will avoid moving in with the 'weakest link' in oneworld's premium products.
