It has already happened that one person with a handful of recent F flights meets up with other FTers, each having done a handful of recent F flights, and over a beer or three they discover they've all had "issues" with BA F crew.

So personally I just don't believe the "everything is fine, your sample isn't significant" explanation, and I don't think it's that expectations are too high either, instead it's Land-of-Miles' explanation that makes the most sense:
