Will F disappear eventually on BA?
Maybe this is the answer. Looking at the best J products, most of them are on carriers where there is no F. Some part of why CW is so underwhelming must be that BA feels the need to differentiate it from F - and of course with a mediocre F product, that severely limits how good J can be.

QR J (except the non suite 777s) is pretty close to BA F anyway. TK's J soft product is IMHO on a par with BA F.

The option is to do what AF/LH do: take the amount of seats out, better soft product and then drastically limit access for non-cash (lots of miles, Golds only)
