G-BNLI is on its way to Victorville. This leaves 7 OF 747's until the end of October, 2014 at which time G-BNLF (SEPT) and G-BNLW (OCT) are scheduled to be retired leaving 5 OF frames. Am I correct that there will be 5 OF 747's serving 4 cities, Vancouver, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Cape Town starting effectively November 1? And of course, it won't be F at all, just Club World with more room if you are afforded one of those seats up front. Seems to me that schedule will be hard to keep up given routine maintenance and unexptected technical issues. Then next summer, starting with the retirement of G-BNLG (July) and G-BNLU (OCT 15) and G-BNLV (Nov 15) all with NF, would you be able to assume if the schedule holds that those NF cabins will be refurbished to G-BNLJ, G-BNLY and G-CIVC is some fashion? (G-BNLX and G-BNLZ are the last two to be retired thus not to get NF) Would it be fair to say that BA will have to ammend some of these cities not recieving First Class seats?
