Hmm... Go and live in France as I did for a few years and you'll really appreciate coming back to the UK (and BA)

No, it wouldn't. Unless BA found a way of getting UK-based crew to fly out to Paris to operate the CDG-JFK run, which would presumably be a logistical challenge. It will be interesting to see how this works. (I'll be in the queue to try it out when it does.)
