BA JFK-LHR Diversion......Two Pax on Board??

[Big Pistons Forever]

I was told a story by a retired american airline pilot about how his airline execs (who shall not be named to protect the stupid ) come up with the idea of a daily San Antonio-Heathrow direct service using the Big Dog during the early 1990's. They gave up the idea when one flight went with only one paying passenger. And no, the reason they cancelled the pairing was not because it was a hopeless money loser, it was when they got a bollicking in the local press from the irate pax because they lost his bags.
