One thing that is doing LGW no favours at all is our beloved franchise partner GB Airways. Pax have a BA ticket and ride on a BA liveried aircraft with a BA flight prefix. They believe the experience is BA. The serviceability of their fleet is shaky at best and the poor machines are worked to death trying to maintain near impossible scheduling.
Whilst I do agree with you about their scheduling - I have to point out that the GB Fleet is far newer and more reliable than anything that BA mainline has at LGW - except for one aircraft.

And that is on loan from BA!
