COPY of Post 1 (from wilsnunn) for if the thread gets too long:
How much of the BA flight network does the BAEC FlyerTalk community fly in 2020?
It was suggested in another thread (see here: Any Gaps in our collective knowledge?) that it would be a fun/interesting task to see how much of the whole BA network of flights we as a community here on FlyerTalk actually fly in a given year.
After a bit of discussion in the afore mentioned thread, we came up with the idea of a Google Sheets document to track flights taken by the community.
If people here are genuinely interested in persuing this task then I am sure that it would lead to some very interesting results.
Rules:
The Google sheet is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...vid=1896029868
Obviously this will not be of interest to everybody but for those who are interested, I hope that this proves to be a fun and interesting experiment.
Note: if you wish to participate but wish to add an extra level of anonymity on top of your FT username, then please feel free to assign yourself another pseudonym and participate that way.
If you have any questions then please let me know.

I suggest people opening in an "In Private" window thus keeping their personal Google accounts out of it.

Rules:
- You must only edit the Google Sheet when not logged into your own Google account (personal/business etc) so as to remain anonymous to the community (and to me the owner of the Google sheet using a new account that is not being used for anything else)
- You can only add your flight to the list once you have flown it (incase of IRROPS, change of plans etc)
- You have to have flown on the flight using its BA flight number
- This means that if you flew on BA113 but were ticketed as AA6134 for example this should not be included
- This also means that if you have flown QR1 but it was actually ticketed as BA7001 this should be included

Thanks Wilsnunn ! That was a very quick response. :-)
I think the idea of someone else editing for those on mobiles would work as long as we are all ok for us to post as I've done. Don't want to clog the thread up too much with requests.

I also couldn't figure out how to edit this on an iPhone but I was on BA 49 LHR to SEA on Jan 1st 2020.

This is awesome. Once it starts getting more populated then will be possible to draw up some kind of graphical representation. Probably too complex at this stage to add in class of travel, but that could be for next year.
Well done and looking forward to the results! Will start adding as of Sunday!

I have just done LGW-TFS BA2730 (8th Jan). I believe I’m the first one to fly that this year.
Please can it be added to the spreadsheet.

Line 58 on the spreadsheet currently refers to a flight BA1934 from LHR to MAN. I suspect that the flight number should be BA1394. Could someone, for example Jonathan2712 who took the flight, confirm the error (if such it is) and make the appropriate correction.
More generally, do we need a protocol for the reporting and correction of similar instances of fat finger syndrome?

This seems to be very interesting. I added a couple of rows.

I flew BA976 (LHR to HAJ) on 8 January and return on BA979 on 9 Jan. I don't think those are on there yet.
