Yeah Guv,
I'm more than happy to take this issue on but my first question is: Are you on the board at British Airways? I think not. So you have NO basis to express an opinion as to whether the Board of BA decided not to operate to the US do you? By the way, I heard from a guy who heard from a guy doesn't play well in situations where you are impuning the integrity of a Nation.
I note from your own sources that Britania, Virgin, and Airtours2000 (although I suspect I missed a few) were authorized entry to the US. Correct me if I am wrong that these are owned and operated in the UK. As to whether BA did or did not want to operate to the US at or about the time you whine about, I suggest you ask them as other UK airlines were authorized. You certainly aren't in a position to comment.
But, as I recall your original list, I must have missed a few... I seem to remember a much longer list of those darn 3rd world airlines from the roster you listed priviously on this site. Since I don't see them on your current attached list, where exactly did your other list come from? (Feel free to append a further or perhaps suitably modified list to your reply)
Your ball Guv
