BA has a large proportion of LHR slots but there is only a handful of routes where BA does not face competition. I am surprised how hard some find it to look past their own preferences and to accept that maybe no one is forced to fly BA but that people simply find CW acceptable or they like it or they don't care that it is 20 years old. Not everyone is preoccupied with a particular seat design so there is nothing to get away with. Let's just assume that since everyone who hates CW stopped flying it (as they said they would), those who are flying CW these days actually want to do it for one reason or another, and there is no point in trying to figure out why they do it.
