It's important to remember that there is no other organisation on this planet, civil or military, that has more experience than BA at flying large aircraft over very long routes. They're not a mickey-mouse outfit, they're the most experienced operator in intercontinental aviation. They're even one level higher than most airlines from the US or Europe. I just can't (and I'm being impartial here) think of an airline that has more experience, diligence, level of quality or focus on operational safety than BA.
