Angry 3 engine BA (ferry) ex LAX

There are specific procedures in place for three engine ferry flights. No pax being an obvious factor . Also In addition there is common sense as to whether or not a flight is continued, mainly dependant of course where the a/c is in relation to its point of no return and the nearest diversion airport. That being an obvious fact it is surprising that an operator can elect to bend and remain within the rules to continue the major portion of a flight with an engine out!
There must be a place on the carpet in CAA for BA this one!!
