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:

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.

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

I have added my first two in both for 14/01/2020;
BA0378 and BA1479
1479 makes a "matching pair" with the previously added 1478.

Just come across this thread so added my 3 flights so far this year. All new rows and hopefully I haven’t messed up the spreadsheet adding them in. 🙂

BA3292 MUC-LCY added as well. I'll probably be able to add all MUC-LCY-MUC flights this year, apart from any other routes.
Longtime lurker, and this actually made me create a username, weirdly.

Great idea!
I've just been from London to LAX via MCO (5 hour layover, not one of my best ideas, and something I'm not sure I would repeat again in W/Y).
I added my BA2037/BA2036 (LGW-MCO, MCO-LGW). Should I also be adding my BA1542 (MCO to LAX) and BA1668 (LAX to MCO)

OK, so to spice it up, we need a bookie to take bets on the day that Flyertalk community have flown every yearround BA (marketed and operated) flight?
We've a broad range of business and leisure travellers, and a lot of the business routes will only just have kicked off, so they'll fill up quick now.
I think we'll have all BA flights 'done' by March 13th. Probably the rest done by Feb 29th, but it'll be something like no-one has done the fifth freedom UVF-GND BA 2159 (we have to have every flight - BA 15 is both LHR-SIN & SIN-SYD), and ends up someone booking a tier point run there just to get it done
