F is a mix of corporate and private bookings.

Most CW is chosen for you by your company's corporate deal. if it is flat and the price is right, you will fly it, whether you like the seat or not. Thus BA appeals on the price/risk trade off to your corporate travel buyer. It does n't matter how many armchair experts and how much of the back office headcount don't like it. If it makes BA money and the corporates buyers buy it, it stays as it is.
