There's another thread somewhere that stated it was pretty much one after the other month after month, it was various G-CIV*s and all the G-BYG*s from memory.

good one ^^^!
The youngest BA ones have 10 years of servicable life in them and I shall try and fly as many as possible before they go.
Yes with some of the new Star Alliance members certainly ... but with BA???

I generally do the same - but my last two BA NYC flights on the 777 (one to EWR, one to JFK) have been on a 12F bird, so Rockwell Collins each time.

From the conversion schedule, it looks like there'll be about a dozen of these aircraft by May, with the remaining 6 all done by the end of July.

Nothing more for 2.5mths? I'm tempted to say that's slow, but then remembered this is BA we are talking about.

Have you seen the dates of the remainder of the programme from G-CIVS onwards? You might want to revise your view when you have looked at those.

I have. But like the CIVG wifi trial and the first embodiment of the new WT/WTP, it runs slowly to start with.

Believe me, I wish they had a few more going right now but I don't run the show.
