I consider BA still to be an ok-ish program post changes, nothing great. The threshold for getting Gold has become very high for Europe- I will reach close to HON if I pool that travel on LH family. Also BAEC has poor redemption partners- only CX and BA are worth spending miles on. I have never seen a premium seat on JL (or NH for that matter) when I wanted it, IB is in the same league as TK or worse, I would rate LX F way above BA F, forget SQ F or OZ F....

BA still scores on cheap(ish) upgrades to C from WT+ and 10K miles plus cash redemptions in Europe- still, nothing compared to the 3K miles plus cash redemption DC gives LHR-MOW one way.
