It’s been a long time since BA had any entitlement to leverage this emotive guff. Probably at least 15 years to me.
I’m currently at SFO and saw a BA A380 earlier. More and more when seeing a BA tail overseas, I think “thank god I’m not on that”!
The seat to sink into will be newer, more easily accessible, better maintained and with better food and drink, on almost any other airline in J.
