Maybe your experience was a one off, but my experience of BA flight crew has always been good whether it’s in F, J, WTP, or up the back, and I’ve flown with them domestic UK and transatlantic from Gatwick 3 times this year. Given the number of seats in WTP, they’re not going to refer to you as Mr or Ms (insert last name) like they sometimes do in Club world, but the service was there regardless of where you are in the plane. Could be a Heathrow vs Gatwick crew thing too, but I think since a lot are on standby for both airports, you’re going to get a mix anyway (777 pilots are anyway, not sure about the FAs).

Having flown WTP on the A380, I find it an all round good experience. Ok, the food as always does leave a lot to be desired. But a seat with more leg room and better recline, is a step up on a 10 hour flight to LAX.
I think the the main issue for BA, is the inconsistency of the product through the fleet. You have Old WTP on 747/ and 777, recovered WTP on some 747, New WTP on the A380, 787, 777 and then LGW WTP, throw in varying levels of service between Worldwide and Mixed Fleet and it becomes a bit messy and confused for the passenger.
if there was a more consistent service/hard product then it would be an over all better passenger experience, but that’s just my view.

Hi,
I flew WT+ back from LAS to LHR on Wednesday night;
Things for improvement;
(1) Did not see any menus on the flight ( was told the meals were chicken & rice or pasta)
(2) sparkling wine
We did have wrapped cheddar cheese to go with the cream crackers
(3) A full bottle of water with/after the meal
(4) We did have a full english breakfast ( or a fritatta) but with plastic cutlerly and plastic and paper cups for breakfast ( with the paper napkin)- the cutlery as per the main meal would enhance the experience
Regards
