767s are much slower than the 777 - would add at least 30 mins to the flights.

FIRST would certainly have to be continued to BGI and BDA, for business travellers and High Net Worth individuals.

Club is surprisingly busy to TPA, sure it is sold cheaply, but many of these "Florida/Caribbean" routes are essential to the network. Why? Because many of us who fly BA like to redeem on these routes - should BA stop serving them there ould be reduced incentive to fly BA when on business as they would not have the services on which holiday redemptions make BAEC attractive.

Plus 777s always seem full to me - not sure the reduction to a 767 would suffice in capacity terms.

Certainly for me the TPA service and F lounge and LGW are the biggest reasons to fly BA and maintain Gold - take this away and VS would become increasingly attractive.

However, it may be that all business airlines such as ICON will take the premium market here, perhaps serving FLL Fort Lauderdale.

Another reason to diversify your mileage portfolio!
