I'll be honest, that's exactly what it looks like to me.

I suspect like many, I have an unexplainable affinity for BA and low expectations for MAG. I usually consider my J experience to start only once I get to LHR and consider the MAN experience something to tolerate not enjoy, but let's be brutally honest, if you've dropped nearly five figures on a CW flight to the US then this is not an auspicious start. It's not awful and not as bad as it could have been but it's far from great.
