As usual, the crew makes the difference... and you didn't get the best ones.
As a former BA crew said on another thread, he earned £30k a year before Covid and now average salary is £25k with a completely different cost of living situation - so question is what caliber of people do really like to do the job? I am sure a number of FTers will disagree but overall I don't see much of a difference between AA/ DL/ BA anymore and ticket price wins over loyality.
That being sad, there are still a few BA service stars around - and then BA F can be very close to LH F....
Nota bene: The burger looks rubbish, nothing better than a not melted Dairy Lea slice of cheese
