I'm one of the QR praisers on the BA forum. I've been flying QR for about 18 months, and I see more and more BAEC members on-board.
More worryingly for BA, I see them on flights from CDG. To give one example - I flew from LHR-CDG a couple of months back. 7 of those on the BA flight, followed onto the QR flight to DOH. None were DOH locals, all were either in F or J, and all were connecting onward from DOH (we all caught up in the on-board bar!).
I still fly BA when going West from LHR, because the choice is slightly more limited, but heading East, I have switched all but one of my flights to QR. I am fortunate in that 80% of my travel is in F (or J when F is not available).
In March I flew IAD-LHR-DOH-BKK with a 2 day stopover in London. BA F in comparison to QR F is simply embarrassing! I would argue that BA F is better than QR J, but that is probably just a personal choice.
