Agreed. Just supply the registration of the offending aircraft on which you travelled in 2007 so that everyone can understand this inferior OCW seating of the era for which you speak. If you're collecting all the other stuff I'd wager you're tracking the registrations too.

In 2006 I took 113 flights, in 2007, I took 132 flights and in 2008 I took 117 flights. In those respective years I visited the Caribbean 9 times. Now I could tell you the places, and the dates, and the airlines involved, the mileage earned, and the classes traveled. I am not going to, because you know, privacy and all that. But you know what? I originally said 2008 from memory, and then when questioned actually looked at my spreadsheet and discovered that it was 2007, not "ever-changing" or anything else.

There was a single MAN-based 767 (G-BNWH) operating the JFK route in a 2-class Club World and World Traveller configuration (with cradle seats in Club World) until July 2006 - it's quite possible that that aircraft operated from LHR on occasion.

While we're talking about mythical cradle seat trips, what about the South America trip in "2008"? Was there a time-shift involved there, too? Or just more fallible and failed memories?

Honestly? When looking at my spreadsheet, I saw that it was another airline that I flew to South America in 2008 that had sucky seats which were pretty much the same as BA's OCW, so this is why I have not been banging on about that anymore. No Globalizer, no time shift. You know and much like other posters who misquote BA annual reports or write things that are remembered improperly, one can make mistakes. But I am NOT mistaken that in early 2007 I flew OCW to the Caribbean.

Funnily enough, I couldn't see anything from you in 2007.
