Cher Madame, I’m surprised you recognised the reference ... surely before your time?
Anyway, as you say, we all have our perspectives. We find BA “OK” for our s/h and l/h purposes. Nothing to get excited about, but it’s basically safe and reliable ... if a bit inconsistent.
But our next booking to the US of A may well be with AA for the TATL, once I’ve unravelled the Matrix options. We have found them ‘a bit better’ with both hard and soft product. I reserve judgement on the ME3 until I’ve flown QR in 10 days’ time!
