I am not sure BA wants to expand a really problematic fleet, but may be driven to it if the snakebit 77X program remains on delay.
Is this a BA issue or an A380 issue?

SQ, QF and if course EK (to name a few) are using, updating and refurbishing their A380 without known repeated tech issues, so is the A380 the issue at BA?
