Ha ha. OP, perhaps you didn't get the memo; BA went to the dogs some time ago. The dogs are handing it over to the swamp rats because they just don't see the point anymore.

I will probably not requalify for Gold this year after many many years. My long haul premium flights have been extremely average experiences, and my short hauls a true pain. Most of my business has gone elsewhere this year. Would you believe I actually preferred a recent United flight to the US?!
