BA has a vast network, and that means that the average pilot may get to JFK just once a year, and often not for years at a time. So yes, BA aircraft go multiple times a day... but an individual pilot far far less so. The East coast of the USA can come as a wake up call to the longhaul pilot used to only going to some of the more gentler destinations. It is no coincidence that command courses and command checks are ideally carried out to the East Coast of the USA.
