Just from a personal perspective I do about 8k TPs a year with BA but only use them when flying west. If I have a choice between them and Emirates its EK every time going south / east. The product is significantly better in F and also significantly cheaper. So BA is not my first choice for about 30-40% of my LH travel. Extrapolate that over a large number of customers and it must start to become a little concerning?

I do the same, flying west I take BA but east, it is EK. Even though am just blue with them, I really get good treatment. Car both ways, lounges (ok not Paris) but everywhere else are just great. Calm and serene.

I do love BA, but they are getting less and less of my money.
