And imagine the indignation that would appear here during a lengthy transition, posted by those booked on "new CE" and winding up with an "old CE" airframe!

So, we're inevitably stuck with the hard product and it comes down to the rest of the experience. In my opinion BA do the job well on most routes on most days, and I always look forward to my CE trips.
